What Is the E-2 Investor Visa?

The E-2 investor visa is a U.S. nonimmigrant visa for qualifying nationals of treaty countries, including Canada, who want to invest in and actively operate a business in the United States.

With an E-2 visa, eligible investors may:

Live in the United States while directing their qualifying business.
Start a new company or purchase an existing U.S. business.
Bring an eligible spouse and unmarried children under 21.
Obtain E-2 status for qualifying periods and seek extensions if they continue meeting the requirements.
Have an eligible spouse obtain employment authorization incident to valid E-2S status.

Unlike some other investment-based immigration programs, there is no fixed statutory E-2 visa minimum investment amount. Instead, the investment must be substantial relative to the business and sufficient to support its successful operation.

The E-2 visa is not itself a green card or a direct path to permanent residence.
