Treaty Country Eligibility

Can Anyone From Around the World Qualify for an E2 Visa? For about two centuries, the US has been establishing trade treaties with countries worldwide, many of which are now part of the E2 Investment Visa program. For example, the United Kingdom has had a treaty with the US since July 3rd, 1815, and Portugal was added on March 15th, 2024.  Please see the list of countries and make sure your country has a treaty with the US for the E2 Visa.

E-2 Visa Duration

How Long Do E2 Visas Last? –  Great question! The length of an E2 visa is determined by something called the Doctrine of Reciprocity. Simply put, it’s an agreement between the U.S. and individual countries that specifies how long an E2 visa can be issued and how many times it can be renewed. These terms vary depending on the country, so it’s essential to check the specific rules for your home country.

For example, British citizens can be issued E2 visas for up to five years at a time. Be sure to review the reciprocity list to understand what’s available for your country.
