For countries that issue e-visas, do any also take up a full page of your passport when you arrive?
Even though I travel a lot I've never had an e-visa.
I just found out at least some countries that issue e-visas do not then attach a full page version of the visa into your passport when you arrive. Apparently I could've visited Cambodia on my way from Thailand to Laos without using up a page, had I known.
So is this the way e-visas always work, or do they sometimes supplement the e-visa with a physical full page one when you arrive?
Of the two countries I've either been to or almost been to, both Armenia and Cambodia require a full page visa for Australians if we get regular visas on arrival, but both don't seem to require a passport page if you get an e-visa in advance, it will only be on a separate piece of paper.

E-Visas, by definition, are electronic (that's what the "e" stands for!).
Although I can't say with certainty that no country that issues e-visas also places a visa "foil" (the full page sticker/stamp you are referring to) in your passport on arrival, I've certainly never heard of anyone doing that, and never seen it myself.
Countries that use e-visas will use the details on your passport to access their electronic visa system to determine your current visa status, and then generally stamp your passport only with the standard entry stamp that does not require a full page. Airlines/etc that need to check your visa status will follow much the same process.
Some countries, such as Australia, allow you to specifically request a visa foil for an e-visa, but there is no benefit to doing this other than potentially being above to prove to a third party that you have a visa, and they charge a non-trivial cost to do it.

Is eVisa printed on passport?
An e-visa is essentially the same as a sticker visa that is stamped on your passport, except that you can apply for it on your own instead of going through an agency (VFS, usually, that looks after visa applications from Indian passport holders to the maximum number of countries).Can eVisa be rejected?

Answer 2
I have come across situations, mostly in South East Asia, where you can get an e-visa online but then on arrival it does require a full page sticker to be placed on the passport. Examples I've encountered include Vietnam and Cambodia. In all of these cases, the e-visa is merely a pre-authorisation that needs to be endorsed on the passport using a sticker, rather than a visa in its own right.
However, the answer is going to depend very much on what passport you have, because in some cases you can get an on-arrival visa in the form of an entry stamp, while citizens of other countries need a full page sticker. As such, I think this question is not answerable in its current form because: a) doesn't account for passport b) too many variables in asking for a list of countries that need a full page sticker despite having an e-visa.
Answer 3
It pretty much depends on the passeport you have (from which country) and the country you're visiting. Some e-visas are totally E (electornic) and some other are juste a way to substitute the traditional visa application way.
Answer 4
Depends on the Country. In some countries the e-visa is only a pre-approval for a visa on Arrival, in which case they'll put a visa sticker in the passport, while in others the e-visa is all you need, in which case you only get entry and exit stamps in the passport
