Both are official permits to enter a country, but the experience is wildly different. An e-visa is digital end-to-end; a sticker visa requires an embassy or VFS visit, biometrics and weeks of waiting.

Why Vizaezy is e-visa only
We focus exclusively on e-visa destinations so the entire workflow stays digital end-to-end. If your destination only issues sticker visas, we'll redirect you to an official embassy resource instead of taking your money.
