Great US Visas for Qualified Investors

-An E-2 visa is a visa designed for non-immigrants that invest a substantial amount in a business within the United States. There are various classifications for treaty investors that must be followed in order to obtain the E-2 visa itself, these include:

  • Have nationality in a country that maintains a Treaty of Commerce with the United States of America.
  • Invest a substantial amount of money in a US enterprise or business.
  • Migrate to the United States wanting to fully invest into enterprise and with no ulterior motive.

-Initially, investors and employees are granted up to two years of stay within the United States under the visa. However, if extensions are granted, they are given in ranges of up to two years each time. Non-immigrants do not have a limit on how many extensions that may be granted.

-E-2 visa applicants and holders generally choose the investment property or enterprise by purchasing an acclaimed business in a location that has many established companies. Some of the most beneficial business investments for foreign entrepreneurs and investors include the following:

  • Franchises
  • Consulting
  • Restaurants
  • Multinational companies
  • Purchasing a business
  • It is substantial that the foreign investor has a logical and practical business plan prior to coming to the United States along with a prepared investment ready to go.

-Family of foreign treaty investors and employees:

  • Treaty investors and employees may come to the United States alongside other individuals only if they their spouse or unmarried children who are under the age of 21 years old.
  • Family members may also seek the same E-2 visa as the foreign treaty investor and be granted the same time period of stay as them as well.
  • E-2 foreign investors are able to travel abroad and still granted a two-year readmission period, however this two-year admission period will not be applicable to the family members that are traveling abroad with the E-2 visa holder.

-Travel Restrictions

  • There are no travel restrictions under the E-2 visa.
  • As long as your visa is not expired, you may travel freely for as many times as you'd like as the USCIS does not have a limit for the time spent outside of the United States as an E-2 visa holder.
