The E-2 Visa is a nonimmigrant visa for foreign nationals from certain countries who have signed a trade treaty with the United States. This visa allows residents of those countries to come to the US to invest. The minimum requirement for investment differs based on the type of business being established.
The duration of the visa will depend on the applicant’s home country. To be eligible, you must be able to demonstrate the source of your investment, make employment for US citizens and permanent residents and be directly involved in the management and operation of the business.
