Why do some people have a visa sticker in their passport while others do not?

ORIGINAL POSTERWhy do some people have a physical sticker in their passport while others do not? Can you pick up the sticker at your embassy after the visa has been approved? I found the image on Google.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The differences in having a visa sticker in passports are primarily due to the application method. Individuals who apply for visas in person at an embassy may receive a physical sticker, while those applying for E-visas do not, as the process is now fully electronic. This change to E-visa systems has been implemented widely since early 2025, making physical stickers increasingly uncommon.

No, you can't. Everything is now E-visa. Stickers used to be for the ones who applied in person at the embassy.
