Hi all!

Does anyone know what the requirements and/or process is that one needs to take in order to move his/her existing business from Europe to the USA?

Thanks in advance!

You'll need an E-1/E-2 visa. I'm not well versed in the process required to get one but travel.state.gov has the info on their web site.

Thanks for the reply! What if the country is not a part of the treaty country list?

Good question and I would think that the answer is, you won't be able to move your business to the US but you could contact the US consulate/embassy or an attorney to give you some advice.

I wrote but got a very generic reply. So that's not going to be helpful.

I researched and search their website, but again, no luck.

I'm sure there's a way, even if it is by obtaining a Visa, but I'm stumped on what it may be. Any other ideas??
