    EB5 and E2: visas to work and reside in the United States

Please contact us if you want more information and a relationship with a specialized firm on the subject.

The EB-5 visa

The US authorities created the EB-5 program to boost the US economy through job creation through capital investment from foreign investors.

The EB-5 visa provides a “green card” for foreigners who invest money in the United States, which can also then lead to obtaining a US passport. To get an EB-5, a person must invest at least USD 900,000 and create at least 10 jobs.

The investor and his / her spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 will be eligible for a green card.

It should be noted that to obtain this visa there are two options:

  1. Investment in an “EB-5 Regional Center”, which is an investment vehicle that is a public or private entity that has registered with the authorities to manage EB-5 investment projects. These are high risk investments for two reasons:
    1. The financial risk. The underlying project does not guarantee a positive return on investment.
    2. Immigration risk. A residence visa cannot be guaranteed even after funds have been invested. There is still a risk that the Regional Center may fail to meet regulation requirements and no longer qualify for the program.
  2. Set up your own company and create 10 jobs with it.

All EB-5 investments should lead to the creation of 10 full-time US jobs for at least two years. The investment required under the EB-5 program is USD$ 900,000 or USD$ 1.8 million, depending on the location of the EB-5 project:

  1. If the EB-5 project is located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), the investment will be USD$ 900,000 USD.
  2. If the EB-5 project is not in an TEA, the minimum investment will be USD$ 1.8 million.

The E2 visa

  1. The E-2 Investor Visa allows a person to enter and work within the United States based on an investment made in the US. This visa must generally be renewed every two years with no limit to the number of renewals. The investment must be “substantial” , but there is no legal minimum.

    The E-2 visa is only possible for people holding a passport issued by one of these countries:

    Albania Germany Argentina
    Armenia Australia Azerbaijan
    Bahrain Bangladesh Belgium
    Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria
    Cameroon Canada Chile
    Taiwan Colombia Congo
    South Korea Costa Rica Croatia
    Denmark (excluding Greenland) Egypt Ecuador
    Spain Estonia Ethiopia
    Finland France Georgia
    Grenade Honduras Iran
    Ireland Italy Jamaica
    Japan Jordan Kazakhstan
    Kyrgyzstan Kosovo Austria
    Latvia Liberia Lithuania
    Luxembourg fruit salad Morocco
    Mexico Moldova Mongolia
    Montenegro Norway Oman
    Pakistan Panama Paraguay
    Netherlands Philippines Poland
    Slovak Republic Czech republic Romania
    United Kingdom Senegal Serbia
    Singapore Slovenia Sri Lanka
    Sweden Swiss Suriname
    Thailand Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia
    Turkey Ukraine Yugoslavia

    The E-2 visa is a temporary visa, while the EB-5 “green card” is permanent. Family members of the E-2 visa holder are allowed to enter the United States with the visa holder. This category includes the spouse of the visa holder and unmarried minor children under 21 years of age.
