There are no passport controls to enter Vatican City.
Technically, the Vatican is not part of the Schengen Zone or the EU, but it has an open border with Italy, and Italy is the only way to enter the Vatican.
So no-one will even know you have visited Vatican.
As o.m mentioned:
it is more like "they have a practical agreement that the Vatican doesn't ...

A 2-year overstay is very big, therefore it is very unlikely you will be granted a visa.
For comparison, under rule 320(7B), overstayers are normally barred from re-entering the UK for at least one year, unless they overstayed by less than 90 days and left the UK voluntarily at their own expense.
So I imagine even if you didn’t get a ban you would most ...

NZ citizen here.

As a tourist in Japan, you need a flight/boat trip/etc out of the country, but otherwise can have up to 90 days.

In the future, it is not recommended to buy flight tickets before your visa is granted to avoid similar situations. If you bought a refundable ticket you can try and get a refund for your flight, this is the easier option rather than appealing the visa.

You don’t need a visa for Japan either as you are going for 90 days or less, ...

The actual regulation doesn't say that the I-94 must be valid, but that the period of stay indicated on the I-94 must be unexpired. That's the reason for the parenthetical mention "unexpired" in the quoted text. 22 CFR 41.112(d)(2)(i) says that the program is available to one who

Beyond those countries that don't permit it trying to catch dual citizens, a key part of applying for a visitor visa is demonstrating strong ties to your home and that you plan to return after your visit.

I don't have any suggestion how to get the e-visa faster.

My understanding is that the Indian visa process is considerably more complicated and time consuming if you are of Pakistani descent, but you are unlikely to be denied the visa if everything checks out. I don't believe the government publishes visa rejection rates though, so this is anecdotal.

Since you are transiting in both Lisbon and Madrid, you will be entering the Schengen Area and not just transiting. Therefore, you will need a regular Schengen short stay visa, regardless of the terminal situation in Madrid.
As you are entering through Portugal, you should apply for such a visa at the consulate of Portugal.
The consulate of Portugal likely ...

You need a Schengen type C short stay visa for this itinerary.
The terminal change in Madrid isn't relevant; the fact that you are entering the Schengen area at Lisbon and exiting Schengen in Madrid is the important bit. To do this, you need to have the regular Schengen visa.

If you entered France, then it's France. If you're in transit you're not technically 'entering' the country, you're just passing through the outside-immigration-zone. So in the case you stay in Paris a few days - you'd write France. If just stopping in Charles de Gaulle Airport to change planes to fly to Egypt - put the USA.

Not necessarily. The onus is on him, as the visitor, to show he has funds to support himself.
So - he'll have to show proof of the invite - that's fine, you're able to help with that.
Then he'll have to show funds. If he's staying at yours, then at least he won't need as much as won't have to pay for accommodation. But as long as he satisfies immigration ...

It might be possible but I do not think his chances are high.
