The E-1 visa allows nationals from treaty countries to enter and reside in the U.S. for the purpose of conducting substantial trade between the United States and their home country. It’s ideal for business owners or executives with active trade operations involving goods, services, or technology.
There must be significant ongoing exchange between the U.S. and your country.
You must hold citizenship from a country with a commerce treaty with the U.S.
The E-1 visa can support your business goals while providing a legal path to live in the United States.
If you actively trade with U.S. partners and hold a treaty country nationality, the E-1 visa may be your best path to legally operate and reside in the U.S.
Businesses that are primarily engaged in the import or export of goods or services between the United States and the applicant’s country, as long as a valid treaty exists.
Common examples include:
• Trade of physical products (raw materials, food, electronics, clothing, etc.)
• International logistics and transportation
• Cross-border digital or professional services (consulting, technology, etc.)
• Marketing agencies
Unlike the E-2 visa, the E-1 visa requires the business to be actively operating. A business plan alone is not sufficient; real evidence of international trade must be presented, such as invoices, shipments, contracts, and transaction records between the U.S. and the applicant’s country.
Only citizens of countries that have a current treaty of commerce and navigation with the United States can apply for the E-1 visa. This list may change, so it is recommended to verify directly with official sources or an immigration attorney before starting the process.
At least 50% of the business’s international trade must be between the U.S. and the applicant’s country.
