E-1/E-2 Visas for Nationals of New Zealand

  • posted: Jun. 30, 2019

Effective June 10, 2019, nationals of New Zealand are eligible for E-1 Treaty Trader and E-2 Treaty Investor visa status.  As background, the E-1 category allows a foreign national from a country with which the U.S. has a commercial treaty to enter the U.S. solely to engage in trade of a substantial nature principally between the U.S. and the beneficiary’s country of nationality.  Such trade must be international, substantial and continuous between the U.S. and the other treaty country.  The E-2 category allows a foreign national from a country with which the U.S. has a commercial treaty to enter the U.S. and work for a company which has invested or is actively investing a substantial amount of capital.  To be considered substantial, the investment must be a substantial percentage in proportion to the total value of the particular enterprise or must be an amount normally considered necessary to establish a viable enterprise.    For a list of other E visa eligible countries, please see U.S. Department of State website.

As additional details become available regarding the above, we will provide regular updates.
