E-2 Visa for Treaty Investors
Serving Clients in Dallas and Nationwide
An E-visa is intended for treaty traders and treaty investors – E-1 is for traders and E-2 is for investors[1]. In order to qualify for an E-2 treaty investor visa, an individual must be a citizen of a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States. For example:
