The E-2 investor visa is a common option for entrepreneurs from treaty countries like Israel. It allows you to invest in and manage a U.S.-based business legally.

You could also explore an L-1 visa if you already have a business abroad and want to open a U.S. branch. This visa allows intra-company transfers for executives or managers.

It’s essential to prepare a clear business plan showing investment amount, job creation, and business viability. Hiring local attorneys and accountants can ensure compliance with U.S. regulations. Keep in mind that visa approval is not guaranteed and depends on meeting strict eligibility requirements. Proper planning increases your chances of a successful business expansion.
