Citizenship from a treaty country
Investment of significant capital
At least 50% ownership or control of the business

E-1 Treaty Trader Visa

For those engaged in significant trade between their home country and the U.S. The majority of the trade must occur with the U.S.

E-2 Employee Visa: For employees of E-2 businesses with executive or highly specialized roles

Common Questions About Investment Visas

Can I buy a home and get a visa?
No. Buying real estate does not qualify you for a business or investor visa.

What is a “substantial” investment?
There’s no fixed number for E-2 visas, but it must be enough to successfully run and grow the business.

Can my family come with me?
Yes. Most investment visas allow you to bring your spouse and children. Many also allow spouses to apply for work authorization.
