An E2 Visa is a special type of visa that welcomes investors from countries with E2 treaties,
like Mexico, to invest a significant amount in an existing, franchise, or new business in the U.S.
If you're in the U.S. and eligible, you can apply through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
If you're outside the U.S., you can apply through the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Mexico.
This visa also lets you work with a U.S. business where at least half of the owners are from the treaty country, like Mexico.
Overview of E-2 Visa Requirements for Mexican Nationals:
- Prospective applicants need to be Mexican citizens, benefiting from the established treaty between Mexico and the USA.
- Investors are required to make a substantial investment, usually surpassing US $150,000 (equivalent to Mexican Peso 3M), ensuring a minimum 50% ownership stae.
- Upon approval, applicants are expected to relocate to the U.S., taking on the responsibility of establishing and actively managing the proposed business venture.
- To contribute to both investor returns and the U.S. economy, applicants are encouraged to generate significant employment opportunities for U.S. workers.
- It's crucial to note that the invested funds must be placed "at risk," emphasizing the commitment to the success and growth of the business.
