E2 Treaty Investor Visa, Build and Manage Your Business in the U.S.
The E2 Treaty Investor Visa is a popular U.S. immigration option for entrepreneurs and investors from countries that have a treaty of commerce or navigation with the United States. It allows you to enter and work in the U.S. to develop and direct a business in which you have made, or are actively making, a substantial investment. Whether you’re starting a brand-new business or purchasing an existing one, the E2 Visa provides the flexibility to live in the U.S. while managing your enterprise.
No Fixed Investment Amount – While most investments are $100,000+, there is no legal minimum.
Fast Processing Times – Often quicker than other visa categories.
Family Inclusion – Spouses and unmarried children under 21 can join you; spouses can work legally in the U.S.
Renewable – Can be extended indefinitely as long as the business remains operational.
