What Is an Acceptable Source of Funds for an E-2 Visa?

The most important two elements for source of funds for an E2 visa are that the funds are personal to the E2 applicant and that the funds were obtained legally.  Common sources of funds are personal savings, gifts from family, sale of real estate and inheritance.  However, there are many other sources that may be acceptable

In this video, Angie Rupert, Founder of Rupert Law, explains one of the most important E-2 visa requirements: the source of funds. She walks through what the U.S. government needs to see to approve your E-2 investment — specifically where your money came from and how you can prove it.

Angie clarifies that E-2 investment funds must come from a legal source and be fully under the investor’s possession and control. The money does not need to come from the U.S. or even from your treaty country.

She reviews the most common source-of-funds categories:

• Single events such as a divorce settlement or the sale of a house (the easiest to document)
• Personal savings — used by about 80% of E-2 clients, often requiring bank statements and tax returns
• Gifts from close family or friends (with additional documentation if from a non-relative)
• Loans based on personal collateral such as a home or line of credit
• Family loans, dividends, distributions, or even rare cases like lottery winnings

Angie emphasizes that business-secured loans cannot be counted as part of the E-2 investment.

She also explains how to document multiple sources of funds and why proving the path of money into your U.S. business account is essential. Before investment, funds must appear — even briefly — in the investor’s personal account to establish possession and control.

She closes by encouraging viewers to reach out with questions, as source-of-funds is often the most detail-heavy part of the E-2 visa process.
