As the type of visa required for a person wishing to legally enter the United States depends on the situation, it is important to make this determination correctly before the arduous application process is undertaken. Some visa applicants may have a business or trade purpose. An E-1 or E-2 visa is appropriate in two situations:

• When the applicant engages in substantial trade, including trade in services or technology, in qualifying activities, principally between the United States and the treaty country; or
• When the applicant develops and directs the operations of an enterprise in which he or she has invested a substantial amount of capital.

These are some types of enterprises that constitute trade under E-visa provisions:

• international banking
• insurance
• transportation
• tourism
• communications

Applicants must complete an application and typically schedule an interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where they live.
