Assess the following scenario:
If say, i'm in country X planning to go to Israel. And, i go apply for
an
Israeli visa; but since i'm working in say, Dubai, the Israeli embassy stamps my visa in a separate paper. I book my ticket to Haifa and go to
the
airport. For me to board the airline, the airport authorities in my
country
X need to scrutinise my documents at the immigration desk. Do you think that officer will let me through if the visa isn't stamped on my
passport?
Doesn't he have the right to deny me passage on grounds that the visa hasn't been stamped on a bonafide document(i.e. The passport)?
I am not sure about your scenario. If X does not recognize Israel obviously you can not fly from X to Israel. If Emirates do recognize Israel, you can fly from Dubai to Tel-Aviv (Haifa does not have the airport) and back. Having two Emirates stamps and nothing in between is a serious problem as far as X is concerned, and I believe it can only be solved by losing a passport in Dubai prior to traveling to X.
