We answer your questions
Who qualifies for an E-1 visa?
You must be a national of a country that has a trade treaty with the U.S., and that treaty must include the E-1 visa option. Additionally, your company must conduct active and substantial imports or exports with the United States. At BixPlan, we guide you in meeting the key criteria: nationality, type of company, and level of international trade.
What type of trade is considered "substantial"?
What is the duration of the E-1 visa?
Approvals can be from 1 to 5 years, depending on the consul’s discretion.
It is common to obtain 5-year approvals when you submit your application at the U.S. embassy in your home country.
The visa can be renewed indefinitely, as long as the international trade remains frequent, substantial, and verifiable.
At BixPlan, we design a plan that helps you project stability and continuity, which is crucial for successful approvals and renewals.
