E1 (E-1) Treaty Trader Visa Business Plans

Partnering with Immigration Attorneys & Treaty Traders

An E1 Treaty Trader Visa allows a national of a treaty country (a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation) to be admitted to the United States solely to engage in international trade on his or her own behalf. The key to submitting an effective visa application is to have a thorough and comprehensive business plan that focuses on the key E1 (E-1) requirements of “substantial trade” and “principal trade” between the United States and the treaty country which qualified the treaty trader for E1 (E-1) classification.


E-1 (E1) Products

E-1 (E1) Business Plan - Short Version

Our short plans are designed for U.S. posts that impose a cap on the number of pages for visa filings (Canada, Spain, Germany, etc.) Our short business plans range from 3 to 10 pages. These compact plans include a market analysis and 5-year staffing, revenue, and profit and loss projections. They also address specific visa requirements, including E-1 substantial trade and principal trade.

E-1 (E1) Business Plan - Standard Version

We strongly believe that business plans with fewer pages are more effective and direct. Our standard business plans are approximately 15-20 pages long. They include a market analysis and 5-year staffing, revenue, and profit and loss projections. They also address specific visa requirements such as substantial trade and principal trade.

General qualifications of an E1 Treaty Trader

  • Must be a national of a treaty country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation
  • Nationals of qualifying treaty countries who undertake a significant amount of international trade with the United States may qualify for this type of visa. The volume of such trade must be sufficient to justify the trader or his/her employee(s) being in the United States to manage the trade, and must constitute the majority of the trader's international trade (i.e. at least 50% of the Trader's exports/imports must be to/from the U.S.)
