What the E-2 Visa Allows You to Do
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa offers citizens of certain treaty countries an invaluable opportunity to both live and work in the United States by making a qualifying investment in a U.S.-based business. This specific visa is meticulously designed for individuals who wish to take a hands-on approach in directing and developing their own company—whether that company is a brand-new startup or an already established enterprise seeking further growth and expansion. It enables passionate entrepreneurs to engage actively in the dynamic U.S. marketplace, fostering innovation, creating jobs, and driving economic activity.
Given that eligibility for the E-2 visa hinges on a treaty agreement between the United States and the applicant’s home country, one of the initial and essential steps in this process is confirming whether your specific country qualifies under this treaty. Understanding this critical requirement can help streamline your path toward securing this visa and ensuring compliance with the necessary regulations.

Investment Standards and Business Expectations
Unlike some visa categories, the E-2 Visa does not set a minimum investment amount. Instead, the investment must be significant enough to ensure that the business can operate successfully. For some industries, this may require a larger investment; for others, a smaller amount may be sufficient. What matters is that the investment is meaningful, committed, and placed at risk for the purpose of running a real enterprise.
To keep E-2 status, the business cannot be marginal. It must show the ability—over time—to support the investor and to create jobs for U.S. workers. This makes the E-2 Visa a strong choice for entrepreneurs who want flexibility: as long as the business remains active and meets these expectations, the visa can be renewed again and again.
Andrew Driggs works with investors to review business plans, demonstrate the source of invested funds, and organize the financial evidence needed to support an E-2 application.
Support for Investors Establishing a U.S. Presence
