How many types of E visas exist?

The E visas were created to facilitate the entry of individuals who will contribute to trade and international investments in the United States. In general terms, there are three main types of E visas:

1. E-1 Visa (Treaty Trader) – aimed at citizens of countries that maintain trade treaties with the U.S., allowing businesspeople and employees to engage in international trade activities.

2. E-2 Visa (Treaty Investor) – intended for investors who plan to invest a substantial amount of capital in an American enterprise, also restricted to citizens of countries that have a specific treaty with the U.S.

3. E-3 Visa – exclusive to Australian citizens who intend to work in specialty occupations, similarly to the requirements of an H-1B visa, but with different requirements and procedures.

It is important to remember that, regardless of the category, all of these visas require strict compliance with U.S. immigration laws. Therefore, always verify information through official sources and be cautious of promises of results or miraculous solutions promoted in marketing campaigns. If you are considering an immigration process, always seek guidance from professionals or specialized institutions, ensuring that your decisions are based on correct and up-to-date information.
