Apply for the E-1 Trader Visa to the U.S. with Full-Service Legal & Business Support
Are you actively involved in international trade with the United States? Looking to expand your operations, relocate your family, and legally manage your business from within the U.S.? The E-1 Trader Visa is one of the most strategic and realistic options for global entrepreneurs who trade goods or services with U.S. clients or partners.
We offer end-to-end E-1 visa support — from case evaluation and treaty eligibility checks to business structure planning, legal document preparation, visa filing, and post-arrival assistance. Whether you're a sole trader or managing a growing international company, we tailor the process to fit your trade model and long-term goals.
📌 What Is the E-1 Trader Visa — and Why Is It So Effective?
The E-1 is a non-immigrant U.S. visa designed for individuals and companies from countries that have an active treaty of commerce with the United States. It allows traders and executives to enter the U.S. to carry out substantial trade between their country and the U.S.
The term “trade” applies broadly — including import/export of goods, logistics, transportation, digital services, software, financial services, SaaS platforms, and B2B contracts. The E-1 visa allows you to:
✅ Legally live and work in the U.S. as long as your trade activity continues;
✅ Open a branch office, warehouse, or sales hub in the U.S.;
✅ Bring your spouse (who may legally work) and children under 21 (who can study);
✅ Travel freely in and out of the U.S. to support business operations;
✅ Strengthen your company’s presence in the world’s largest economy.
It’s ideal for entrepreneurs, business owners, export/import managers, logistics firms, and tech companies that work with U.S. clients and want to establish local infrastructure.
🌍 Who Is Eligible for the E-1 Visa?
To apply for the E-1 visa, you must be a citizen of a country that has a valid E-1 treaty with the United States. Eligible countries from the post-Soviet region include:
🇺🇦 Ukraine, 🇬🇪 Georgia, 🇲🇩 Moldova, 🇦🇲 Armenia, 🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan
If you're not a citizen of an E-1 treaty country, our legal team can guide you through alternative options such as the E-2 visa, L-1 intracompany transfer visa, or dual citizenship by investment programs in E-1 eligible countries.
