It’s not an actual rule, just discretionary enforcement. You sound more like an argumentative keyboard warrior than someone with real-world experience. 😆
That’s the bizarre part. You already qualified for the visa through an embassy or immigration, yet they still tell you to carry the whole stack of documents every time you re‑enter.

Imagine them asking the same any visa whether marriage, work, retirement etc.
