Pakistani Passport: Missing entry stamp into Germany [closed]

I arrived in Germany in September on a student visa. I got the exit stamp from Pakistan but the immigration officer at Munich airport did not put an 'Entry' stamp on my passport. I did not notice at that time as I was tired and in a hurry. But now I am bit worried.

Will this cause any issue? And how can I sort this issue

Best Answer

You don't need to worry about the missing stamp; many countries don't use the stamping for their records anymore anyway.

Your visa defines when you need to leave (unless you get an extension), and nobody will care when exactly you arrived, assuming that whenever it was, it was verified and you were admitted.
If it makes you feel better, keep the boarding pass from your flight, and the respective emails with the booking confirmation. With that information, the airline can always verify as needed that they flew you in that day.

Why was my passport not stamped in Germany?

Germany does not stamp passports of residence permit holders, and it is possible that the officer assumed you're a resident (most D visa holders are) and therefore did not stamp you. If you're not a resident, you should've explained it to her and she should've stamped you out.

You can try nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or lemon juice to remove the ballpoint pen ink. Dip a cotton swab into your product of choice and rub it into the ink you are trying to erase. Be sure to only use a small amount of your product so you do not end up oversaturating the paper.
