What Is an E-2 Visa?

  The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa is a powerful pathway for foreign nationals from treaty countries to live and work in the United States by investing in a U.S.-based business. Unlike permanent residency (Green Card), the E-2 is a non-immigrant visa that allows entrepreneurs to actively manage and grow their investment while residing in the U.S.

✅ Key Features of the E-2 Visa:

  

  • Eligibility:      Must be a citizen of a country with an active E-2 treaty with the U.S.
  • Investment      Requirement: A “substantial” investment—typically $100,000 to      $150,000+—in a bona fide U.S. business
  • Business      Control: Investor must own at least 50% or have operational control
  • Renewability:      Valid for up to 5 years depending on the treaty country, and renewable      indefinitely as long as the business remains active
  • Family      Benefits: Spouse and minor children can accompany the investor and may      be eligible for work and education privileges

Why Franchising Is a Smart E-2 Strategy

  Franchises offer a proven business model, brand recognition, and operational support—making them an ideal fit for E-2 visa applicants. Immigration officers often view franchise investments as more credible and stable than independent startups.

📈 Franchise Advantages for E-2 Investors:

  •  Turnkey      Operations: Step into a business with established systems, training,      and support
  • Lower      Risk Profile: Franchises typically outperform startups in survival and      scalability
  • Structured      Documentation: Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs) provide      transparency and help strengthen visa applications
  • Industry      Diversity: From food service to home care, investors can choose      sectors aligned with their skills and goals
