Yaroslav: X has no problem with Israel, there's even an embassy in country X, from
which he applied the visa, but since he is on a work permit in the Middle east, the
embassy sticks the visa on another paper. Since the country where he works from isnt in
good terms with Israel, he travels to Israel from his homecountry X. Wouldn't the
immigration officer in country X bar him passage due to the fact that a visa is only
recognised if sticked on a passport, and not a piece of paper?

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.
Cheers
