Why do other websites show a different number for the Gabonese passport?

Websites count different things. Wandava counts every way in without an embassy: visa-free (29), visa on arrival (21), online eTA (3) and eVisa (35), 88 in all.

When an online visa needs a local sponsor or a full set of supporting documents, Wandava counts it as an embassy visa, not an eVisa.
