Invest in a business in the USA

If your home country has a trade agreement with the USA, and you have a substantial amount of capital invested, or are in the process of investing in a US based company, the E2 visa may be for you.

At Blue Lake Law, we’ve helped countless foreign investors take advantage of the US Treaty Investor Visa, maximising acceptance chances with our tried and tested US law experience.

What is the E2 Investment Visa?

Similarly to the E1 Treaty Trader Visa, the E2 Treaty Investor visa is a non-immigrant visa designed to help foreign investors travel to and work from the USA with ease. As this is a non-immigrant visa, the E2 Treaty Investor visa doesn’t offer a direct path to permanent residency within the United States.

E2 Visa eligibility

To be eligible for an E2 Treaty Investor visa, you must meet all of the following requirements.

Have citizenship in a country which has a US trade treaty

These countries are:

  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Bolivia
  • Bosnia & Herzegovina
  • Brunei
  • Canada
  • Chile

Investment amount

While there isn’t a set amount to invest in order to be eligible, an example in the regulations has $100,000 as a reasonable figure – each case is reviewed individually and the result can vary depending on the business invested in, and more. Blue Lake Law has been successful with E-2 visas where significantly less has been invested.

Source of funds

When applying for an E2 visa, you will be expected to prove that your investment money was obtained by legal means.
