Now that I'm reading this thread, I wonder if that could have caused a problem if someone had chosen to scrutinize my passport carefully for some reason. More importantly, without the actual visa on me, how could I prove I ever had one?
Most won't care, but I've seen situations where some airline, airline contractor or government employees made issues about removed staples in passport pages, paper clip indentations on visa pages, staples in passport pages, and so on. But these are the exception rather than the norm, and it is a sign of dealing with a person whose thinking is probably excessively suspicious.
