The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa enables citizens of countries with commerce and navigation treaties or bilateral investment agreements with the U.S. to invest in American enterprises. To qualify, investors must make a significant financial commitment to a U.S. business and be actively involved in its management. This non-immigrant visa can be renewed indefinitely, provided that the investment and business operations remain in compliance with visa requirements.
Furthermore, the E-2 visa extends to the investor’s immediate family, including a spouse and unmarried children under 21. The spouse is eligible to apply for work authorization, allowing them to seek employment in the U.S. The visa application process involves demonstrating that the investment is substantial enough to ensure the successful operation of the enterprise and that the investor has control over the funds. Additionally, the business must generate more than enough income to provide for the investor and their family or have a significant economic impact in the U.S. Overall, the E-2 visa promotes economic growth and strengthens bilateral relations through foreign investments.
