The Most Important Thing You Should Know About Investment Visa’s

    The first thing to know about an investment visa is that is not the real name. It really goes by the Regional Center EB-5 program. For the sake of this article though we’ll stick to investment visa.

This type of visa is not for everyone, mainly because you need to have at least $500,000 to invest and does take time. Anywhere from one to two years.

What this visa does is allow foreign nationals to own property in the U.S. and still travel out of the country and back in and get green cards for their families and themselves.

 More specifically you need to invest in a commercial business that is in what’s considered a regional center by the American government. There are about 40 of those centers,many newly formed. Depending on the area where the center is located determines the type of business that you invest in.

The good part is that you do not have to reside in the same area where you invest but there are regulations as far as how the business is run.

Like any business venture you still need to do your homework and see if this investment makes sense to give you a good return on your money. There are also other regulations that must be fulfilled including documenting the source of the money you are investing.

This is obviously not going to fit everyone’s needs and there may be other visa’s that will work for you but this is a viable option for some that want the freedom to come and go and work and enjoy as they like.

Hopefully this article will give you food for thought but  as with any other important  legal and business matter I would tell you to find a good attorney and accountant to see if this is a workable alternative.
