Hi all-

My fiancee and I are planning to visit Japan in a few months' time and I've got a question re: visa.

She currently holds a Malaysian passport with Australian Permanent Residence visa so I click on the first link on this page:

We'll be in Japan for 10 days, go to Europe for 2 weeks, then fly back to Australia via Japan. As we'll have 10 hours or so in Japan our plan is to go out and spend the day in Narita or Tokyo.

Questions:

1. Does the first visa described (holiday/sightseeeing) allow for multiple entry or will she need to apply for two visas?

2. What is the difference between the above visa and the transit visa? The transit visa description says it's for up to 15 days, but the application form and process is exactly the same.

Thanks!
