Which visas to get in London or Paris?

Hi all. I am looking for embassies/consulates in London or Paris that can issue their country's visa within 2-3 days without letter of invitation. If you know some please let me know. Many thanks in advance.

Please advise the countries you are considering. But as a general rule - former British colony countries (now usually members of the Commonwealth) will be obtainable in London; former French colony countries would be available in Paris. I cannot recall with specific countries need letters of invitation.

Thank you! I have taken 1 year off to travel though Africa so I am interested in all countries where I can get visas easily. Planning on renting an apartment for 2-3 weeks in London and/or Paris and get lots of visas and then travel there! Good plan?

Many thanks in advance.

Good plan?

Be aware visas don't last forever so verify the visa is valid for whenever you plan to arrive to the relevant country; i.e.: ask previously about it in order to not get visas that you won't be able to use.

Thanks you. You are right, so maybe just a few countries with a very easy visa policy in London or Paris, can anyone name some?

Many thanks in advance.

I think you should decide which countries (and in what order) you want to visit. Then, you can look for the entry requirements to those countries for people of your nationality. Some of them can be visa free, others visa on arrival, others visa beforehand, others visa beforehand requiring you to get your visa in your home country...
