What is the difference between a Sticker Visa and an e-Visa?

A Sticker Visa is a physical visa label in your passport, allowing entry/exit through any port. It requires more documents and has a higher fee. An e-Visa is an electronic authorization sent via email, valid for entry at designated airports/seaports. It requires fewer documents and is generally cheaper.
