USA EB-5 Investor Visa
The EB-5 visa grants permanent U.S. residency to investors who contribute to government-approved projects across the United States. This visa offers significant advantages, including access to the U.S. education system, the right to live, retire, work, and study in the USA, the potential to receive a return on investment upon project completion, and residency for the investor, their spouse, and children under 21. The primary applicant must reside in the USA for at least six months per year.

USA E-2 Investor Visa
For nationals of countries like China, India, and Vietnam, who may face lengthy delays with the EB-5, the E-2 visa serves as an effective alternative. This visa requires a “substantial” investment, which is generally less than the EB-5 amount. The E-2 visa is available to citizens of countries with which the USA has an E-2 treaty, including Grenada and Turkey. Investors in these countries are eligible for the E-2 visa after residing in the treaty country for at least three years. While the E-2 visa offers a faster, potentially cheaper route to residency, it is a non-immigrant visa and does not lead directly to a Green Card, unlike the EB-5.

Investment Amounts

  • E-2: $500,000
  • EB-5: $800,000

EB-5 & E-2 Visa Benefits

  • Residency for the investor and their full family
  • The ability to live, work, and study in the USA
  • Opportunity to earn a return on investment (EB-5)
  • Fast processing times for the EB-5, typically within 60 days after submission
  • Visa-free travel within the USA

EB-5 Regional Center
The EB-5 Regional Center Program, signed into law by President Biden on March 15, 2022, is effective until September 2027. This program enables investors to pool their funds into larger projects, such as infrastructure or real estate, while fulfilling job creation requirements. The minimum investment amount starts at $800,000.

E-2 Treaty Countries
The E-2 visa is a practical alternative to the EB-5 for nationals of countries with an E-2 treaty with the USA. Investors first obtain citizenship in one of these countries, reside there for at least three years, and then apply for the E-2 visa to invest in a U.S. business.

EB-5 Investment Visa Options
Several investment opportunities are available for the USA EB-5 visa, including:

  • Florida: $800,000 for a new residential development
  • Chicago: $800,000 for a luxury hotel project
  • Montana: $800,000 for a six-star luxury resort

Green Card through Investment
The EB-5 visa provides a path to a U.S. Green Card. After two years, investors and their families receive conditional permanent residency. This visa is capped at 10,000 applicants per year, with 5,000 reserved for regional center investments. Successful applicants can apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization after five years of permanent residency.

Requirements for the Golden Visa
Fund Investment

EB-5 Fund Investment
The EB-5 visa requires investors to make a minimum investment of $800,000 in a government-approved regional center project. This investment must contribute to the creation of jobs for U.S. workers. The funds are typically pooled into large-scale development projects, such as real estate or infrastructure, allowing for passive investment while meeting the job creation requirements.

E-2 Visa Fund Investment
For the E-2 visa, the investment must be "substantial," but typically lower than the EB-5 amount, around $500,000 or more, depending on the type of business. The E-2 visa requires that the investor is from a country that holds an E-2 treaty with the United States. The investor must establish or purchase a business in the U.S. and demonstrate that the business will generate significant economic impact.

Investment Requirements:

  1. Substantial Investment:

    • There is no fixed amount, but the investment must be substantial enough to ensure the business's viability. Typically, $100,000 to $500,000 is considered a good investment range, depending on the nature of the business.
