Democratic Rep of Congo... cheap in Rwanda - maybe expensive elsewhere
Uganda
Laos
Cambodia
Thailand (since we wanted more than 30 days)
Georgia
Azerbaijan (need a hotel booking, but it can be cancelled if you don't actually go)
Armenia
China
Yemen
India (though it was a real hassle in that my wife's name is not on our utility bill)
Qatar (we don't need visas anymore tho)
Azerbaijan easy? Maybe because I was trying to get a work Visa it was harder. I had to have an LOI, a medical check up done, 120$, 2 passport photos with red background, and my original college diploma.Took over 2 months to obtain. Even a tourist Visa now requires LOI, 120$, 2 passport photos, and must be applied for at an Azerbaijan Embassy in your home country. I had to send my stuff off to an Agent in Washington DC.
