It's a country with over a billion people, so it's possible.

If you have money and a clean background you can go anywhere you want (with some exceptions), regardless of your passport. There are companies you can contact who will handle the entire visa process for you.

This is unfortunately not true for most people coming from the Arab world.

To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing.
Most of the Europeans that come through have the financial means and strong enough passports to go pretty much anywhere they please. Same goes for most Japanese and Chinese.
My Arab customers however have the money, but getting a visa is a near impossibility.
