Overview
The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is for nationals of treaty countries who invest a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business and actively direct or develop that enterprise. This route is non-immigrant but can be renewed, provided requirements continue to be met.

- Own at least 50% of the business or have operational control
- Will develop and direct the enterprise on an ongoing basis
