E2 Visa

An E-2 visa is a U.S. visa that allows foreign entrepreneurs and investors from certain treaty countries to live and operate a business in the United States. To qualify, you must make a substantial investment in a U.S. enterprise and play a key role in managing it. The visa is typically granted for an initial period of up to two years and can be renewed as long as the investment and business activities continue. It does not lead directly to a green card but is ideal for those planning to actively run and grow their business in the U.S.
