Get Answers to Your Investment, Visa & Business Planning Questions - from the Experts!
The reasons for obtaining a visa are numerous, and the answer will depend on whether or not you wish to move to the US. If you do not wish to move to the US, you may still NEED a visa in order to operate your US business and/or to be employed by it. Obtaining a visa will make traversing across borders to hold events/attend meetings/purchase real estate that much easier and seamless. It will also allow the visa beneficiary to obtain a social security number (SSN) in the US, which is an important element to ease the transacting of business on many levels in the US. Having an SSN will also allow you to qualify for a variety of financing options that would not be available to you without same, and will allow you to apply for certain other benefits and meet certain common criteria reserved for those with an SSN. Additionally, you will be able to build US credit, which is directly connected to your SSN such that without an SSN building US credit is virtually impossible.
If you are running a business in the US and are actively involved in its operations, or if you receive remuneration from the business such as a salary or retainer, or if you wish to qualify for US financing without the additional complications attached to foreign national investing and qualification, or if you are regularly traversing to-and-from the US and your home country for business purposes, then a visa becomes necessary.
I would recommend referencing my book, Finding Your Silver Lining in the Business Immigration Process, to learn about the visa options – here is the link:
The main business visas are the EB-5, the E-2, the E-1 and the L-1A, although the latter has lost favor in recent years and during the Trump administration! WHY DON’T WE POST THE VISA TABLES HERE? ATTACHING THEM
Other visas include EB1, EB2, H1B and many others. Please set up a consult to discussIt is important to understand that you may need (or want) a visa for ease of travel and running your US business, whether you ever plan to move to the U.S. or not! We work with many clients whose US business is substantial, but they do not plan to move away from their home country for a variety of personal and business reasons, yet can enjoy the benefits of having a visa stamped into their passport which accomplishes the goals above while allowing the holder the freedom to decide if (s)he wishes to move to the US at some point during the term of the visa!
