E2 VISA
WHAT IS AN E2?
VISA
The E2 visa allows people from specific countries to enter the United States for the purpose of investing and running a business. The required investment can be deployed to establish or acquire a business in the United States. The E2 visa falls under the category of “treaty investor” visas, so it is renewable indefinitely for business executives, as long as the business remains in operation. Additionally, the visa opens up certain avenues of permanent residency.

WHO IS IT FOR?
PROFILE
To be eligible for an E2 visa, the applicant must be a citizen of a country that has a trade treaty with the United States, and they must be looking to invest a substantial amount in their business. The investment must be “at risk” and not simply a passive investment. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate that he plays an active role in the operation and management of the business. The business must also be a legitimate, operational business entity rather than a fringe or speculative business.
