New American visa
for Portuguese citizens

In April 2024, the investment and trade treaty came into force, guaranteeing the possibility of an E-2 visa for Portuguese citizens (including, for example, Brazilians with Portuguese citizenship). The U.S. E-2 visa is an opportunity for Portuguese investors to establish a business or acquire an existing company in the U.S. or for Portuguese companies to transfer executive, managerial, or essential employees to their U.S. operations. It is a non-immigrant visa that allows Portuguese nationals and their family members to temporarily reside in the US, provided that the investment meets specific criteria established by the US government.

Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying!

"We had the challenge of obtaining a work visa in record time for one of our directors in Mexico, and the Drummond team, Ana Gabriela Francelli, Fernanda Lana, and Victoria Vono, succeeded and exceeded all our expectations. From the initial negotiations to the final delivery, this team's attention to detail was remarkable. At no point was I left without updates and/or follow-up on the process. They deserve congratulations for all their work, and I am truly grateful for the partnership. Without a doubt, I highly recommend them!"

Vinicius Sabbadin

Legal and Compliance Coordinator at Sensedia
“Choosing Drummond was a decisive milestone in our global expansion. They stood out as a complete solution, covering everything from the complexity of tax legislation to the opening of new business fronts, offering comprehensive legal support and facilitating the path to immigration.”

Felipe Lamounier

CEO Hyperplane
“Drummond has always been our first option when we think about internationalization. They have always been a one stop shop that helps us throughout the process. Covering the tax part, opening a business, legal and contractual assistance, in addition to the immigration part. They were always very clear and careful about managing expectations, on all sides!”

Rafael Albuquerque

CEO Zoox
“I have had a relationship with Drummond since 2018 when they advised us legally in raising the first funds for my company: Accountfy. Since then I have been assisted with different demands such as accounting, tax planning and visas. In addition to the humanized service throughout the process, I can say that my claims were a success. Of course, success depends not only on the office's strategy and guidance, but also on the applicant's dedication to delivering the information and content defined by the Drummond team."

Goldwasser Neto

CEO Accountfy
Getting a visa for the US is a delicate step personally due to all the family issues and important professionally due to the challenges and risks of career and business. Drummond took care of my entire process from A to Z, without ever forgetting that behind the applicants there was not only a company, but also a worried and anxious family. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't think twice. I would do it all over again with them. I started with the L1A visa and now we all have Greencards.

Guilherme Cerqueira

CEO of Worthix
“Drummond was the right choice for the conduction of my visa process. Besides the whole team being very competent technically, they always treated me in a very professional, human and caring way. It was really a very emotional moment for me and I realized that it was also for the whole team, they were thrilled with me and for me!”

FAQ

The applicant must have Portuguese citizenship. This means that Portuguese nationals and Brazilians with dual citizenship can apply for an E-2 visa using their Portuguese nationality. To apply for an E-2 visa, an investor must demonstrate that they are investing a “substantial” amount of capital in a venture in the USA. There is no set minimum, but the amount invested must be significant enough to guarantee the success and sustainability of the business. The investment requirements will depend on the nature of the business activities; naturally, businesses that require more equipment or inventory will require a larger investment than a business that involves providing services or consulting, for example.
Dependents of Portuguese E-2 visa holders, including spouses and children under the age of 21, can also obtain authorization to reside in the United States for the duration of the visa and the spouse will receive authorization to work in the United States, while the children will be able to attend American schools and universities.
It’s worth noting that even though Brazil doesn’t have a treaty granting the E-2 visa, the American consulate in São Paulo still accepts applications for the E-2 visa, making it possible for Brazilians with dual Portuguese citizenship in Brazil to apply.
The E-2 visa is initially granted for a period of up to five years, with the possibility of continuous renewal, as long as the investment and business continue to meet the established requirements, such as profitability, for example.
