Cross mark on a visa stamp - Bahamas

Cross mark on a visa stamp - Bahamas - Woman crossing asphalt road on zebra

I've applied for a Bahamas visit visa from India and I just got my passport today. I see two stamps in my passport - one Bahamas 3 months visit visa stamp and another stamp (same visa) with a cross mark on it.

Is it just because it wasn't stamped properly? Is this going to create any issue during immigration?

Best Answer

That stamp has been crossed out for being illegible. If they wanted to indicate that your visa had been cancelled they should not have left another stamp intact. This should not cause any problems.
