E-2 TREATY INVESTOR STATUS SOON TO BE AVAILABLE FOR NINE MORE COUNTRIES The United States Senate has recently approved nine new bilateral investment treaties which should pave the way for certain nationals of the nine signatory countries to qualify for E-2 Treaty Investor status in the US. The nine countries are the following: - Albania
- Belarus
- Estonia
- Georgia
- Jamaica
- Latvia
- Mongolia
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Ukraine
The treaties will also allow US nationals to pursue similar visas in the nine signatory countries. The other countries must also ratify the treaties in order to move forward. So far, Belarus, Estonia, Jamaica, Latvia, Mongolia and Ukraine have ratified the treaties. After both countries have ratified the treaty, the two must then exchange the instruments of ratification. After that, qualified nationals can apply for E-2 status. < Back | Next > Disclaimer: This newsletter is provided as a public service and not intended to establish an attorney client relationship.
