E-1 and E-2 Visas
The Treaty Trader (E-1) or Treaty Investor (E-2) visa is for a national of a country with which the United States (U.S.) maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation who is coming to the U.S. to carry on substantial trade, including trade in services or technology, principally between the U.S. and the treaty country, or to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the national has invested, or is in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital, under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. For a list of participating countries, select Treaty Countries.
Requirements: Treaty Trader
º The applicant must be a national of a treaty country.
º The trading firm for which the applicant is coming to the U. S. must have the nationality of the
treaty country.
º The international trade must be "substantial" in the sense that there is a sizable and continuing
volume of trade.
º The trade must be principally between the U.S. and the treaty country, which is defined to
mean that more than 50 percent of the international trade involved must be between the U.S.
and the country of the applicant's nationality. Trade means the international exchange of
goods, services, and technology.
º Title of the trade items must pass from one party to the other.
º The applicant must be employed in a supervisory or executive capacity, or possess highly
specialized skills essential to the efficient operation of the firm. Ordinary skilled or unskilled
workers do not qualify.
Requirements: Treaty Investor
º The investor, either a real or corporate person, must be a national of a treaty country.
º The investment must be substantial. It must be sufficient to ensure the successful operation of the
enterprise. The percentage of investment for a low-cost business enterprise must be higher than the
percentage of investment in a high-cost enterprise.
º The investment must be a real operating enterprise. Speculative or idle investment does not qualify.
Uncommitted funds in a bank account or similar security are not considered an investment.
º The investment may not be marginal. It must generate significantly more income than just to provide
a living to the investor and family, or it must have a significant economic impact in the U.S.
º The investor must have control of the funds, and the investment must be at risk in the commercial
sense. Loans secured with the assets of the investment enterprise are not allowed.
º The investor must be coming to the U.S. to develop and direct the enterprise. If the applicant is not
the principal investor, he or she must be employed in a supervisory, executive, or highly specialized
skill capacity. Ordinary skilled and unskilled workers do not qualify.
General Visa
•No assurances regarding the issuance of visas can be given in advance. Therefore final travel plans
or the purchase of non-refundable tickets should not be made until a visa has been issued.
•Unless previously canceled, a visa is valid until its expiration date. Therefore, if the traveler has a valid
U.S. visa in an expired passport, do not remove the visa page from the expired passport. You may
use it along with a new valid passport for travel and admission to the U.S.
Family Members
Spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age, regardless of nationality, may receive derivative E visas in order to accompany the principal visa holder. The spouse of an E visa holder may apply to DHS for employment authorization. Dependent children of an E visa holder are not authorized to work in the U.S.
