What is the E-2 Visa?

The E-2 Visa is a nonimmigrant temporary US work visa for Treaty Investors.

In general, this nonimmigrant temporary US work visa allows a citizen of a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation or other qualifying international agreement with the United States, to live and work in the USA after making a substantial investment in a US business and satisfying other criteria.

This nonimmigrant temporary US work visa is valid for up to two years and has an option to be extended for periods of up to two years each time with no limit on the number of extensions if the criteria are satisfied.

The E-2 Visa holder’s spouse and dependent children (unmarried and under 21 years of age) may apply for the relevant nonimmigrant US visa for accompanying family members.
