Not being a lawyer and being myself a citizen from a Schengen and EU member state, I don't have any direct experience with this kind of issues so that everything I will say should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, I am wondering if it makes any difference in practice (and, incidentally, how frequently this could really happen). It seems that a long stay ...

There is actually no set law to answer any of these questions besides that you get 90 nonconsecutive days in Schengen as an American. If you are thinking to leave to Turkey for 4 days when your counter hits 86 days in Schengen, expecting to clear your stays (like many people assume), and you come back to Schengen, the counter starts right back up from 86 ...

They are 2 different countries and what visa you require for each all depends on what country you are from.

For example, Rome To Rio gives some possible routes.
It suggests, for example, to go through Doha or Dubai. As far as I know, as long as you do not leave the international transit area, you do not need a transit visa for Doha or Dubai.

It primarily depends on where you apply for a visa and secondarily on what your nationality is.
Visa requirements for China differ from embassy to embassy. Typically, in 'the west' they are less strict.

I assume you are applying for your first tourist (L) visa. I did provide my hotel for my very first visa (a double entry), however for subsequent visas (such as the one year version) I have not been asked by my agent to provide any itinerary at all.
Also note that the Chinese visa requirements can change at short notice. My experience is current, and other ...

The answer seems to be a strict YOU CANT, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME.
No visa without invitation. So it seems you need some invitation from a
Saudi-Arabian host (university, firm etc. etc.) which allows you to get
a visa and even then you must have an exit visa beforehand, else they
can hold you indefinitely if your host refuses to let you go.
Even if you are ...

Based on the discussions on similar forums the burden of proof of onward travel is on you and whether or not to accept something as proof of onward travel would be entirely in the discretion of the Immigration officer when you arrive.

I think business visas are a great option, although making one is more costly.
What is important to note, and what was already suggested by Mark Mayo, is that you ARE entitled to do tourist travels with your business visa, that is once you obtain it. While consulates demand a Letter of Invitation (LOI) from a Russian company, you do not need to go and visit ...

The main concern of the UK Border Agency seems to be to ensure that your visa is only used for visiting, but not for taking up de facto residence in the country.
Unless there is a note on the visa that says something along the lines of "may only be used to renew passport", or otherwise restricts your entry to a specific purpose (see #6), you can enter the ...
