Can one apply for many visas at the same time? [closed]
Can one apply for many visas at the same time? I am looking at traveling long-term.
Or can you apply in a country that is not your country of residence? I don't want to have to travel back to South Africa very couple of months.

It very much depends on your residence and citizenship, and which visas you're applying for. So we can't write an answer for every single visa. I'll try to generalise.
Often it requires that you send off your passport. So unless you have more than one passport (possible for some countries), you're clearly not going to be able to apply for more than one.
However, others like Russia, Uzbekistan require letters of invitation, so you can apply for those letters.
Uzbekistan, once I got my LOI, I was able to just pick up the visa on the road - I had to specify in advance which embassy, but got it from Riga, Latvia.
Others (like Russia, although I've been told this may have changed), insist that you must apply from either your country of citizenship, or country of residency, if you live elsewhere.
Still others let you apply on arrival and take 5 minutes.
So unfortunately, you'll have to do the dog work and research it all. Each country is different, so go through a site like visahq.com, and work out 1) where you have to apply for, 2) whether you need to send off your passport or 3) whether you can just pick up the visa on the road, or on arrival.

Can you apply for multiple visas at the same time?
You may apply for two different visas at the same time if you can show that you will enter the United States on the first visa, leave and re-enter on the other. You are required to complete one visa application form DS-160 but pay two MRV fees; the second fee is paid to the Embassy cashier on the day of the interview.How many times can we apply visa appointment?
As per them, in India, using the MRV Fee receipt (Visa fee receipt), you can schedule visa appointment for 5 times. This 5 times, include the initial appointment scheduling. What it means is that you can re-schedule or change the appointment for 4 times after your initial appointment.How long do you have to wait to apply for another visa?
3 My U.S. visa will expire in the next 6 months. Do I need to apply for a new visa after my current visa expires or can I apply in advance? You do not have to wait until your current visa expires. You can apply for a new visa even if your current visa is valid.Can you apply Temporary Visa \u0026 Permanent Visa at the Same Time?
