Buy Your Own US Business: Questions About the E2 Visa

By Michael Monnot – www.InfinityBusinessBrokers.com

What is an E2 visa?

If you are a business owner or budding entrepreneur in a country outside of the United States, one of the ways to get a visa that will allow you to live and work in the U.S. is to invest in a U.S. business venture. An E2 visa is a popular way to come to the United States because it does not require sponsorship, you will just need sufficient funds to invest into a e2 U.S. business.

How much money would I need to get an E2 visa?

There is not currently a minimum (or maximum) investment that is required in order to apply for the E2 visa, but typically a business owner or new entrepreneur would need somewhere in the neighborhood of $80,000 to $120,000. That being said, every situation is different and will need to be evaluated by a business broker familiar with the E2 visa process.
