For countries that issue e-visas, do any also take up a full page of your passport when you arrive?

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

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.

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.

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.
