Why didn't I get the visa sticker on my passport like everyone else? But instead I received just a passport stamp with dtv on it

IS this normal ?

Answer summary

The absence of a visa sticker in your passport indicates that you received an eVisa, which typically does not use physical stickers. Instead, you should have a PDF document confirming your visa, while your passport will be stamped to mark your entry and indicate the type of visa (DTV) and its validity period. This is a standard procedure for eVisa holders.

If you apply in person for DTV - you get sticker. If you apply online (eg e-visa) you just get PDF. Everyone that enters on either type of visa will get stamp - usually with DTV in handwriting and 6 month validity date (extendable to 12 months)

People have in the past and shown photos of their visa stickers. This person is obviously getting that mixed up.

With eVisa, stickers are (thankfully) a thing of the past. Your visa is now a PDF document. The stamp in your passport is an entry stamp, it's not actually the visa
