Angie Rupert of Rupert Law Group explains the basics of the E-2 and E-1 visas for entrepreneurs and business owners.

E-2 Visa Overview
The E-2 visa allows citizens of treaty countries—such as the Netherlands—to start or buy a business in the United States. The business must be real, legal, operating, and not a non-profit. It should also have employees and clients or customers.

Investment Requirement
Applicants must make a “substantial investment.” While the law does not specify a dollar amount, in practice this usually means around $100,000 USD or more, depending on the cost to start or acquire the business. The investment must be enough to get the business fully operational. If the startup cost is lower (under about $300,000), the investor is generally expected to invest the full amount.

Ownership Requirements
✅The business must be majority owned and controlled by nationals of the treaty country.
✅A single investor may own 100%.
✅If there are two investors, each must own 50% and invest proportionally.

A company in a treaty country may also own the U.S. business and send employees, as long as the employees hold passports from the same treaty country.

E-1 Visa Overview (Trade Visa)
The E-1 visa is for businesses outside the U.S. that conduct significant trade—goods or services—with the United States. Approval requires proof of ongoing trade volume, typically:

✅At least 12–18 months of history,
✅Multiple documented transactions
✅Around $150,000+ in trade over the past year.

Conclusion
Both visas are excellent options for entrepreneurs looking to start, buy, or expand business activity with the United States. Rupert Law Group welcomes prospective applicants to reach out for guidance.
