Investment Programs With US E-2 Treaty Access
The US E-2 treaty investor visa allows nationals of treaty countries to live and work in the United States by investing in a US business. Among CBI programs, Grenada is the only one whose citizenship grants E-2 treaty eligibility. Turkey's CBI passport also has E-2 treaty access. For direct US residency, the EB-5 program provides a Green Card through a $800,000+ investment. This page covers all investment migration routes that open a path to living and working in the United States.
