ORIGINAL POSTERWhy 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 ?
IS this normal ?
TLDR : 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)

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
