Would it be correct to ask someone who is spending some time in a foreign country the following questions:
1. Are you enjoying your stay?
2. Are you having a good time visiting this country?
If you could think of some more please post them. Thanks in advance.

No probs with 1, but 2 is a bit dodgy. "Having" needs a subject ("you") and an object ("a good time"), but it shouldn't really have a second object ("visiting this country"). That's a separate clause.
I'd replace "visiting this country" with "on your visit", or "on this visit", or even just "here".
