The E1 visa, also known as the Treaty Trader visa, that allows individuals from certain treaty countries to enter the United States for the purpose of conducting trade between their home country and the United States.

The E1 visa is designed to facilitate and promote international trade and commerce. The commercial trade includes the exchange of goods, services, technology, and intellectual property. This type of Visa is very helpful for technology companies rendering services to or from the US. The trade must be “substantial,” which means that there must be a considerable volume of trade between the United States and the treaty country and must also be “continuous,” which means that there must be an ongoing flow of goods, services, or technology between the two countries.

This Visa may be granted to the trader, a manager, or an essential employee of the venture.

This Visa grants the spouse of the applicant a work permit, during the validity of the Visa.
