The US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

For those who wish to acquire permanent resident (‘green card’) status in the USA, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is the most efficient way to acquire such status. Since 1990 when congress created this program, each year, the USA government allocates a substantial number of visas for individuals who wish to make a significant, qualified investment into the country that can generate jobs for the USA economy. Under this program, individuals and their immediate family members can become permanent residents of the USA within a short period of time.

The US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is ranked 10th out of 26 programs on the 2023 Global Residence Program Index.

Requirements of USA residence by investment

The US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program requires that a foreign individual invests into a new commercial enterprise that is associated with government-approved regional centers based on proposals for promoting economic growth.

The following requirements apply:

1. Fulfil one of the following investment options:

  • — One of the most desirable business and lifestyle destinations worldwide
  • — Range of top-tier schools and Ivy League universities available nationwide
  • — Efficient route to gaining permanent resident status (a green card)
  • — Ability to include a spouse and children who are under 21 years old and not married
  • — Minimal application requirements, with no business experience or specific language proficiency needed
  • — Flexible physical presence requirements
  • — Citizenship possible after five years of legal residence

2. Create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified USA workers

After the successful applicants have received a green card, the funds must stay invested until permanent resident status is granted (roughly five years).

Approved applicants will receive conditional green cards for a period of two years. The conditions on the green card are then removed at the end of the two years upon demonstrating to USA immigration authorities that the jobs were in fact created or maintained. The transition from conditional to regular green card does not affect what the green card holder can do in the USA.

Individual applicants must have a net worth in excess of USD 1 million and provide proof that their funds come from legal sources.
