The E-2 visa is a nonimmigrant classification that allows investors from qualifying treaty countries to be admitted into the U.S. The maximum initial stay for an E-2 visa holder is two years, but there is no limit on extensions. Extensions can be for increments of up to two years.
To be eligible for treaty investor status, the individual or organization must be a national of a country that holds a qualifying treaty or agreement with the U.S., invested or in the process of investing a substantial amount into a U.S. business, and seek to enter the U.S. solely to develop and direct the investment enterprise. A substantial amount of capital is relative to the total cost of either purchasing the enterprise or starting a new one and must be sufficient to ensure the investor’s commitment to the operation. Enterprises must be real, active, and operate at a capacity to generate sufficient income for the investor.
An employee of a treaty investor may also qualify for an E-2 visa. The employee must be of the same nationality as the employer, meet the relevant definition of employee, and engage in executive or supervisory duties or have special qualifications. The organization must be at least 50 percent owned by foreign nationals of the treaty country who are residing in the U.S. Our attorneys could help a business understand the E-2 visa qualification process.
