The E-2 Investor Visa – INVEST in the U.S.

The E-2 Investor Visa

Investor Visa Application FormHave you dreamed of living in the United States? Do you have funds to invest in a business in the United States? Do you want a risk-free opportunity to invest in a US business – so you can work and live in the United States with your family?

If you answered yes to all three questions, you are in the right place. Read on to find out an easy way to get an E-2 investor visa.

What is an E-2 investor visa?

The E-2 investor visa is designed for those who would like to live and work in the United States via an investment into a US-based business. It is a non-immigrant visa, meaning you are not applying to become a permanent US resident. You are applying for the right to invest in a US-based business and live in the US with your family while you operate the business. Your family members can work and go to school for the duration of the visa, and you can apply for it an unlimited number of times. 

The best part is, you do not need any business experience to apply. All you need is the right business to invest in.

Conditions for the E-2 investor visa

As an applicant for the E-2 investor visa, you must meet a number of conditions. They are designed to ensure you are investing your lawfully-obtained money into a business you have control over that also supplies jobs to the US labor market. 

  1. You have to be from a country that has a commercial treaty with the US. That includes many Latin-American countries and European countries.
  2. You have to make a substantial contribution to a US business.
  3. The investment must be “irrevocably at risk.”
  4. The business must provide jobs not just for you and your family members, but for American workers.
  5. The investment must come from a lawful source.
  6. You must possess a minimum of 50% of the business and be in the position of managerial control.
  7. You must have a business plan.

Money talk

How much do you need to invest? The US government doesn’t specify an exact amount but stipulates it’d be substantial. The definition of substantial depends on the type of business you invest in. A MacDonald’s franchise may require one amount. A luxury car dealership – quite another. It’s safe to assume, however, that USD100,000 is your minimum amount to invest. 

Your investment must be your personal funds and come from a lawful source, for example: 

Your investment options

Whether or not you have business experience, you can apply for an investor visa. Picking the right investment option is a big factor in both (1) securing your visa application and (2) succeeding in the business you are investing in.

You can invest in:

  1. franchise
  2. existing business
  3. new business

Each option has its own cons and pros. Understanding the options well will help you decide which would be most optimal for you.
