[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 93456, member: 10982"] No, that isn't correct. That stamp in your passport is your visa - issued on entry into the Shengen zone or in many other countries. Depending on what country, it will show both your date of entry and may show the number of days for which the visa is valid. It is not issued by the airline prior to departure, but by immigration on your arrival. Not everyone is entitled to be issued a visa on arrival, ie they must apply for and be issued a visa that is entered into their passport prior to travel. If they arrive at a foreign destination, and are not permitted entry, the carrier is responsible to take that person to a place which will allow entry, normally back to where they departed. To avoid that, some carriers conduct a check that the passenger either has a visa, or will be entitled to be issued a visa on arrival at the destination port. I think doing this at a central point rather than at the boarding gate makes sense. When I first had to do this, the requirement was clearly stated on the check-in procedure guide issued with the ticket, and at the check-in counter. My recollection is that the last time I flew with Ryanair, this was clear when I printed the boarding pass as well. As JohnnieWalker said, the visa requirements haven't changed, but the carriers (Ryanair in this case) want to make sure that they are not left with a passenger that cannot enter the country when they reach their destination. As Anniesantiago has pointed out, ignore this process step at your peril! [/QUOTE]
