What Are E2 Treaty Countries?

E2 Treaty Countries are nations that have signed specific commercial treaties with the United States. Citizens of these countries are eligible to apply for the E2 Treaty Investor Visa, which allows them to live and work in the U.S. by investing in and actively managing an American business.

The United States maintains commercial treaties with approximately 80 countries worldwide, spanning all continents. If you are a citizen of one of these treaty countries, you may qualify for an E2 visa when investing in an Ace Home Care Franchise.

Citizenship Requirement

You must be a citizen (not just a permanent resident) of a treaty country to qualify. Dual citizens may use either citizenship if both countries have E2 treaties with the U.S.

Treaty Classifications

There are two treaty classifications: E-1 (Treaty Trader) and E-2 (Treaty Investor). For franchise investment with Ace Home Care, you'll need to qualify under the E-2 classification.

Treaty Effectiveness

Each treaty has an "Entered into Force" date, which is when the treaty became effective. This has no impact on your eligibility as long as the treaty is currently active.
