SAFEHAVEN
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, also known as an E-2 Visa, is a temporary U.S. working visa. The E-2 visa allows investors with citizenship from a Treaty country to set up a new U.S. business, or invest in an existing U.S. business. Once the E-2 Visa is approved, the investor will have the right to live in the U.S. with their spouse and any children under 21 years old.
The E-2 Visa also allows an investor to send employees from their own country to work as senior managers / specialists in the investor’s E-2 business.
Whilst there is no official minimum or maximum investment amount to meet the ‘substantial investment requirement,’ it is generally advised that the investment into the U.S. business should be at least $150,000.
The E-2 visa initially lasts for 2 years (some countries up to 5 years), and can be extended indefinitely.
Step 1 – Consultation with a professional Safehaven consultant
Our E-2 Visa specialists will conduct a free assessment to determine eligibility for E-2 visa based on your country of citizenship. If you are not eligible we can discuss applying for an eligible citizenship first (Turkey or Grenada).
SStep 2 – Choose Investment Route
Our E-2 Visa specialist will help you determine the best investment type, either existing U.S. business or new U.S. business.
Step 3 – Document collation and Business Plan
Our team will assist you in gathering the required documentation for the E-2 Visa application, as well as the preparation of the business plan for your proposed investment. We will also assist you in setting the business up if needed.
Step 4 – File DS-160 Application
Your E-2 application is filed at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country or country of Residence. Prepare for interview. The approval usually takes 2-4 months.
Step 5 – Enter U.S. on E-2 Visa
After the interview at the U.S. Consulate, you will be given a visa to travel to the U.S. Your initial E-2 Visa will last for 2 years.
Step 6 – Extend E-2 Visa
If you wish to stay in the U.S., you can apply for an extension every 2 years, as long as your business is still operational.
If you are a citizen of one of the below countries, you would be eligible to apply for an E-2 Visa. If you are not currently a citizen of one of the below countries, you can become eligible by first applying for the Turkey or Grenada citizenship by investment programs.
