Treaty Investor Visa Form

Treaty Investor Visa / Pre-qualification Documentation










    The United States do not recognized unmarried couples. To be recognized as a Treaty Dependant and receive a visa for your partner, you must be legally married.




    Your children above the age of 21 cannot be categorized as dependents. They will need to obtain a visa on their own merit and cannot accompany you as dependents.









    You are filling this pre-qualification document because you are admissible to obtain a US treaty investor visa for you and your dependents (spouse and children 21 and under).

    • By investing a minimum of $ 100,000 US in a US based business or company you are admissible. It doesn’t mean the applicant must buy a business or company; it could very well be a startup.
    • The treaty investor visa is a visa tailor made for small investors and small businesses. Furthermore, the US especially values this type of visa as it results in investment and job creation for the American economy.
    • A 5 years business plan will determine the investment and cashflow required by the treaty investor. NAIA can assist you with the business plan.
    • The funds used for the investment must be the visa applicant’s own funds. Documentary evidence of the source of funds will be required. These funds, however, may be in the form of loans personally guaranteed by the applicant(s). Furthermore, other assets such as equipment, inventory, patent rights, royalties and other contractual rights are admissible toward the investment as long as they can be objectively appraised and identified in their 5 years business plan. A Treaty investor must have controlling shares of its business, company or start-up, which in the US is equal to a control of at least 50% of the shares.

    Example 1: Two (2) treaty investors from the same home country can invest 50/50 in the same project in the US. They will both obtain US work visas and dependent visas for their spouse and children (aged 21 and under). Both their spouses can get work authorization.

    Example 2: A treaty investor and an American (or a Permanent Resident/Green Card holder) can invest in the same project 50/50.

    Example 3:The treaty investor can own 100% of the business, company or start-up."
