E-1 Visa
US visas · Reinvent NY glossary
The E-1 Treaty Trader visa is for nationals of treaty countries who carry on 'substantial trade' between their home country and the United States. At least 50% of the trader's total international trade must be between the US and the treaty country. Trade includes goods, services, banking, insurance, and technology. Unlike the E-2, the E-1 does not require a capital investment — the focus is on the volume and frequency of trade transactions. The visa is valid for up to 5 years with unlimited renewals. Both the E-1 and E-2 require treaty country nationality.
