Starting A Business In The USA

E-2 Treaty Investor Visa

The E-2 visa allows a national of a treaty country (a country with which the US maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation) to reside in the USA to run a business there through the investment of a significant amount of capital. This category is for those who do not have an existing business in their home country, or who own a small business which has been trading for less than twelve months, or employs less than four people. An E-2 visa is valid for an initial two years, after which the activities of the business are reviewed and, if conditions are continually met, status can be extended in additional two year stages.



Who the E-2 visa is for

The E-2 visa can be used by non-US nationals who do not have an established business in the US, and either have a small business (under four employees and operational for less than a year) or no existing business outside of the USA. This means that although they are not eligible for the L-1A visa, which requires an existing business, the option may still be available for them to establish one there.



Benefits

• An E-2 visa allows its holder the opportunity to establish a business presence in the USA

• E-2 visas may be extended in increments of up to two years if the enterprise continues to meet the requirements, with no maximum extension limit to the visa

• The E-2 allows an individual to move to the USA along with their spouse and unmarried children under 21

• Dependents may apply for permission to seek employment in the USA.



Requirements

• The applicant must be a national of a treaty country

• E-2 visa applications require a detailed five year business plan

• An E-2 holder must be acting under a supervisory or executive capacity whilst undertaking their business in the USA

• An applicant must have invested, or be in the process of investing a significant amount of capital into an existent and operating US enterprise, and be entering the US based on these terms. A ‘significant’ investment for these purposes means around $100,000 however smaller investments can qualify.
