U.S. Investor Visas |
|
U.S. investor visas are ideal options for obtaining permanent residency in the United States, expanding an existing company into the U.S. market, or establishing a startup in the States. Currently, there are two investment visas available under U.S. immigration law: the E-2 visa and the EB-5 visa.

E-2 Treaty Investor VisaThe E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is a nonimmigrant visa, which does not lead to permanent residency (Green Card status) in America. Obtainable with a modest investment, the E-2 investor visa allows the individual investor or investor company to live and work temporarily in the United States for the duration of the visa's validity. This visa may be renewed indefinitely. Click the link to learn more about the E-2 Investor Visa.
EB-5 Immigrant Investor VisaThe EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa is an immigrant visa, which leads directly to a Green Card. As such, there is no need to 'upgrade' to an immigration status that grants permanent resident status at a later date. The EB-5 visa requires a $1,050,000 investment, which may be reduced to $800,000 under certain circumstances. Click the link to learn more about the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa.
