Do I really need to print my non-O e-visa approval or can I just show it on my phone?
Printed PDF
I know I'm *supposed* to print my non-O e-visa approval. But honestly has anyone had anything bad happen because they didn't print it, and only had the PDF on their phone?
No conjecture please, actual experiences only.

Answer summary
The discussion centers around the necessity of printing the non-O e-visa approval versus showing it on a mobile device. While some users report successfully showing the PDF on their phones without issues, others strongly recommend having a printed copy due to potential issues at immigration or device failures. Personal experiences emphasize that while some travelers have navigated immigration protocols with just their phones, having a paper backup is considered a wise precaution.

Have a paper copy just in case. What if you lose your phone, it gets stolen, or stops working?
I have had a telephone literally die in my hands just as I arrived at the airport.
Having a backup is a wise decision.
