You may be able to return under a business-focused visa such as a B-1 for short-term activities, but anything involving hands-on work or operation needs a different visa category. An investment-based option like the E-2 (if eligible) could allow you to run the business more actively.

If your activities stay limited to meetings, negotiations, and market research, the B-1 visa works well for short visits. But if you plan to open a U.S. branch, hire staff, or manage operations, visas like the E-2 or L-1 might fit better depending on your business structure. It’s best to evaluate your investment size and long-term goals first.

Your next steps depend on whether you want to simply explore the market or establish a real operational presence in the U.S. An E-2 investor visa can work for many entrepreneurs, but Ghana’s treaty status may affect eligibility. If you already have a functioning company abroad, an L-1 could be an option for transferring executives or managers. Speaking with an immigration attorney can help you map the best path early.
