USA E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Program

The United States of America, commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions.

Establishment or Purchase of Business
The US immigrant investor program is the most flexible of its kind in the world. The U.S. has no requirements as to age, business training and experience, or language skills. Permanent residents need not be continuously and physically present in the United States, and they can maintain business and professional relations in their country of origin because it does not require immigrant investors to manage their investment on a daily basis, but rather to ‘actively engage’ in a business enterprise, meaning they can be limited partners and pursue other professional or personal ventures.

E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is a primary investor visa with no quota or annual cap – this type of visa is unlimited in the number available.

E-2 Visa permits citizens of certain Countries to reside in the United States through an investment in the USA.

E-2 Treaty Investor is an Owner or Developer of the new enterprise from a treaty country that has a minimum of 50% or more ownership in a substantial US ‘employment creating’ investment.
