The E-2 Investor Visa

The E-2 Investor Visa is a gateway for nationals of treaty countries to enter and work in the United States by investing in a U.S. business. While there is no specific minimum investment amount defined by law, the investment must be "substantial" relative to the business's total cost. To qualify for E-2 classification, an individual must meet the following criteria:

  1. Nationality: The applicant must be a national of a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation.

  2. Investment: The applicant must have either invested a substantial amount of capital or be actively in the process of investing in a bona fide enterprise in the United States.

  3. Purpose: The applicant should seek to enter the United States solely to develop and direct the investment enterprise.
