Can I extend my E-2 visa?

You can renew your E-2 visa as long as you meet the eligibility criteria and adhere to the application process.

What are the eligibility criteria?

Nationality from a Treaty Country: In order to renew your E-2 visa, you need to be a citizen of a country that has an active treaty agreement with the United States. Moreover, you will need to make sure that country of your nationality still upholds the Treaty.

Sustained Investment: It's crucial to maintain your active engagement in the business and have a substantial financial stake in it. Your investment should be significant enough to guarantee the continued success of your enterprise.

Active Business Operations: Your E-2 business must remain in operation and generate revenue consistently. This is vital to demonstrate that your business continues to thrive.

Employment Commitment: If you employ workers, you must keep the same number of U.S. employees or increase it from when you initially obtained your E-2 visa. Non-Immigrant Intent: You should retain the intention to leave the United States once your E-2 visa status concludes. The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa category, and you must provide evidence that you don't intend to establish permanent residency in the U.S.
