Temporary Visas

Temporary Visas

Temporary Visas

E-1/E-2 Treaty Trader / Investor Visas
Visas are available for aliens from countries that have entered into commercial treaties with the U.S. who wish to enter in order to carry on substantial trade, including trade in services or technology between the U.S. and the foreign state of which the alien is a national. An alien may also qualify as a treaty investor to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which he or she has invested and has an interest of at least 50%, or of an enterprise in which he or she is actively in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital in proportion to the total investment. An employee of the treaty trader or investor may also be admitted if their duties are essential to the operation of the enterprise i.e. executives, managers, or supervisors.

The three main types of treaties are treaties of friendship, commerce and navigation; bilateral investment treaties; and free trade agreements such as NAFTA. The treaty trader or investor must, whether an individual, business or employee possess the nationality of the treaty country. Nationals of the treaty country must own 50% of the business in question.

The Visa is initially valid for two years but can be extended indefinitely in increments of not more than two years. The spouse and children are entitled to the same classification but cannot work in the U.S.
