Summary: For those on the hunt for a great deal and are eyeing a 10-year visa, with a bit of extra effort, the paper visa is your best bet. If you already possess a U.S. visa and cost isn’t a concern, the electronic visa is the way to go.

The main challenge in securing a paper visa revolves around the “notarization of the work certificate” (refer to another guide for detailed instructions). With a steady job and a willingness to tackle some administrative hurdles, this process is entirely manageable. Simply shop around at various notary offices to find the one with the most straightforward requirements and the most affordable fees.
Good to know the pros and cons of both options. I think the e-visa sounds easier if you qualify. The notarization step for the paper visa does sound like a hassle. It’s helpful to have these details laid out so clearly!
