Q: I have requested a visit visa to UAE through Emirates Airlines and once it is approved, they have sent it to me in an excel sheet with all the details and approval numbers. But I noted that it has no stamp on it. is it Ok for electronic Visa requests?!
A: I have yet to see an e-visa issued by EK. As per my experience, an e-visa can be printed in any paper, it just contain your details and a barcode for their reference. It doesn't have a stamp and it differs from the pink hardcopy visa which has an official stamp and is printed on security paper. Whatever you have printed your e-visa on is now your official visa copy and the stamps will be done on that; so print it in a better quality paper. This is the hardcopy visit visa looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/voika/2646852/ And an e-visa copy looks like this (I have covered the details for privacy) http://www.flickr.com/photos/10157834@N07/2681048693/:
