Portugal E2 Visa New Bill Issued

The New Bill That Benefiting Portugal Citizens

The AMIGOS Act

Portugal is now part of the USA E2 Visa treaty countries list. The partnership between Portugal and USA is stronger than ever. Learn more about what that means and how Portugal E2 Visa can benefit you.

The new AMIGOS (Advancing Mutual Interests and Enhancing Our Success) Act makes Portuguese citizens eligible for E2 Visa, the most popular USA investor visa. The bill was signed by President Biden on December 23, 2022, creating a stronger partnership between the US and Portugal. The goal is to grow the number of business investments and job creation in the USA by Portuguese citizens.

Portuguese-Americans and Portuguese citizens community have contributed a lot to the USA in several aspects, such as arts, culture, business, and public service. The E2 Visa aims to increase further the investment made by Portuguese in America through business.

How can I benefit from this bill?

The E2 Visa is a nonimmigrant visa, one of the most sought-after visas to enter and build a business in the USA. However, the visa is only available to apply for treaty countries members, hence making it exclusive only to certain countries. Having your country’s name on the list means you are one step closer to living the American dream. You can read it here if you want to check other treaty countries.

The Portugal E2 Visa allows you to establish a new business venture or purchase and manage a pre-existing enterprise in the United States. We highly recommend investing in a franchise as it is less risky and has a higher chance of E2 Visa approval. To learn more about how to find the right profitable franchise, you can click here.

The E2 visa holders have no travel restrictions. You can travel in and out of the US for two years and have your E2 visa renewed for an unlimited number of two-year extensions for as long as your business operates and meets E2 visa requirements.
