# [E-2 Treaty Investor Visa Now Available to Citizens of Israel](https://www.lawmh.com/blog/e-2-treaty-investor-visa-now-available-to-citizens-of-israel)

After years of negotiations between the U.S. and Israeli governments, the E-2 treaty investor visa will be available to Israeli citizens as of May 1, 2019.  The E-2 visa is a valuable option which allows entrepreneurs to remain in the U.S. to manage investments they have made in either purchasing or starting a business.  The E-2 also allows Israeli companies that have invested in U.S. operations to hire Israeli workers for executive, supervisory, or essential-skills positions.  Spouses of E-2 visa holders are eligible to work for any employer in the U.S.

Filing requirements for the E-2 are very complicated.  Please contact an attorney in [McCandlish Holton’s Immigration Practice Group](https://www.lawmh.com/practice-areas/immigration-law) to see whether an E-2 makes sense for you or your employees.
