Depends on the airport and arrival time. Activating the visa usually doesn't take much time, but you still have to wait in line/re-check bags/go through security. 3-4 hours should be ok, but I wouldn't recommend any shorter layover.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

Yea 3-4, leaning more towards 4 should be fine.

As stated also depends on the airport, time of day, how full your flight is even.

Took my partner a little over 2 hours in Dallas to get off the plane and through immigrations and get his luggage. He was literally last 2-3 people through immigrations when he finally exited the terminal.

Thanks, Ben&Zian! It can really take you a while, apparently.
