List of Treaty Countries with US for E2 Visa

Of the many visas that are used to live and work in the US, few are as sought after as E-class visas. A perfect option for certain entrepreneurs and traders, E visas are relatively inexpensive to obtain (beyond your investment), do not require a job offer, and can be renewed an unlimited number of times. But not every investor or trader is eligible. You must be from a treaty country to qualify. Read on to find out exactly what that means and which nations count as E-2 visa treaty countries.
