Differences between E1 Treaty Trader visa and E2 investor visa in the USA

💡 1. Only citizens of certain countries can apply for an E1 visa, and some countries have an E1 treaty or E2 treaty with the United States but not both. For example, in the case of Bulgaria, a citizen of Bulgaria can apply for an E2 investor visa for the United States because the United States has an E2 treaty with Bulgaria. However, the same citizen of Bulgaria can not apply for an E1 visa for the United States because the US and Bulgaria don’t have an E1 treaty. Also, in the case of Greece, a citizen of Greece can apply for an E1 visa for the United States but not an E2 investor visa because the US only has an E1 treaty with Greece but does not have an E2 treaty. In the case of Japan, a citizen can apply for both an E1 or an E2 visa because the US has an E1 treaty and an E2 treaty with Japan.

💡 2. The E1 visa does not require a financial investment in a US business. In the case of the E1 Treaty Trader visa, you must show that the trade between your E1 treaty country and the US is substantial and is primarily with the United States. While substantial trade is not a set dollar amount it should be at least 100,000 USD in terms of the value of the trade with the US. On the other hand, in the case of the E2 investor visa, you must make a substantial financial investment into a US business that is active and is likely to hire US workers in the near future. The substantial financial investment is not a set dollar amount but it should be at least 100,000 USD but it can also be less or more depending on the specific business that you plan on running in the United States.

💡 3. The E1 Treaty Trader visa does not require a 5-year business plan, while a business plan is not required with an E1 treaty trader visa is still highly recommended to include a 5-year business plan with your visa application. Keep in mind that for the E1 visa you are not required to show that you will be hiring US workers in the near future. This is unlike in the case of an E2 visa where you are required to present a 5-year business plan for your E2 business when the business is a start-up and has been in operation for a couple of years and you also need to show the capacity to hire US workers over the next 5 years when you apply for an E2 investor visa.

💡 4. The E1 Treaty Trader visa does not require the formation of a company in the United States. However, it is still recommended that you form a company in the US before applying for the E1 visa at the United States consulate or embassy abroad or in the United States with US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
