How Long Your E2 Visa Will be Valid For (Not All Countries the Same!)

Author: Ashoori Law


Aspiring entrepreneurs and investors looking to pursue the American Dream through an E2 Investor Visa should be aware of the limitations of an E2 visa. For example, not all E2 visas are valid for the same length of time, and not all E2 visas have the same terms regarding their ability to enter and exit the US. This blog post explains how to check how long your E2 visa will be valid for.

To start off, the E2 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows someone to invest in a US business, either by starting a new business or investing in an existing one, and to live in the US while operating their business. However, the E2 visa is only available to citizens of certain countries that have an E2 treaty with the US, which excludes certain major countries including China, India, Brazil, and Russia.

For citizens of countries with an E2 treaty with the US, the length of the E2 visa and the number of entries authorized can vary depending on the applicant’s country of citizenship. For example, citizens of Canada are eligible to receive an E2 visa with a validity period of 60 months (five years) and a multiple-entry visa. On the other hand, citizens of Jordan are issued an E2 visa for a maximum period of three months and only authorized for a single entry.

To check the terms of a potential E2 visa, we suggest going to www.travel.state.gov and clicking on “U.S. Visa: Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country.” From there, select the letter corresponding to the applicant’s country of citizenship and find the relevant information about the E2 visa’s validity period and number of entries authorized.

In summary, if you are considering pursuing an E2 Investor Visa, it is important to understand that the length of the E2 visa and the number of entries authorized can vary depending on your country of citizenship. Check the terms of your potential E2 visa on www.travel.state.gov to ensure that you are informed about the requirements and limitations of your visa.

I had an excellent experience with Ashoori Law Firm, and I highly recommend their services. From start to finish, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They were extremely responsive, clear in their communication, and provided me with full support throughout the entire process, which gave me great confidence and peace of mind.
I would also like to give a special shout-out to Andreas Soto for his outstanding support from day one. His guidance, continuous follow-ups, and thoughtful recommendation of the right attorney for my case made a significant difference. Andreas was always available, attentive, and genuinely invested in ensuring everything went smoothly.
Thank you to the entire Ashoori Law team for your professionalism and commitment. I truly appreciate all the help and support, and I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone seeking reliable and high-quality legal services.

Working with Ashoori Law was the best decision I made. Their attention to detail and diligence at every step of the GC process was remarkable. It is rare to find a firm that provides such frequent check-ins while also ensuring you get a quick response every single time you call or email. They treated my case with urgency and care, and I am very happy working with them. I felt confident and informed throughout. I highly recommend them and will be working with them in future.

I used services of Ashoori Law for my L-1A petition. I started the process in Oct 24 by talking to eleven immigration law firms, of which Ashoori Law was the 8th. During my initial free consultation, I waited on the call for 10 minutes and when no one joined, I wrote to Michael and informed him of the situation. It was late in the evening in CA but Michael replied back immediately, apologised and assured me that someone would be in touch. The next morning, Ehsan got in touch, walked me through the process in detail and explained exactly how things would work. Later Ehsan arranged a call with the immigration Cristina Casabianca, who walked me through the specifics of the petition and give a clear an honest picture of the work involved, the challenges and chances of success. I selected Ashoori Law because of these three interactions with Michael, Ehsan and Cristina. Their professionalism, sincerity, honesty and enthusiasm impressed me above all the other firms that I had spoken to.
Over the next 10 months, Ashoori Law followed through progress of the case at every stage and were quick to respond to all my queries. Their teams and partners guided me smoothly through all the requirements of the petition and stepped in wherever it was necessary to address any of my concerns.
Thanks to their team and partners, I had a successful outcome to my petition. Cristina then guided me throughout the visa application and interview process and gave me advice on the things that I should bear in mind during my move.
I highly recommended the services of Ashoori Law and their partners.

I had a great experience with Ashoori Law office, specifically with Geo Davidson. He helped arrange a consultation with an amazing attorney and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was his follow-up—he genuinely cared about making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt supported throughout the process. His professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made a big difference.
I highly recommend working the Ashoory Law Office team.

After approaching multiple lawyers, I came across Ashoori law. Michael and his team were very professional, helpful and understanding. We went through a less painstaking, systematic approach. Even though we were miles apart we got our work done through Ashoori law. Will definitely recommend this place and will go here for all our further immigration and other lawful needs. Thank you Michael and team. Was a pleasure dealing with you.
