Investors apply directly or through regional centres with a minimum investment of $800,000. The Regional Centres typically sponsor a variety of investment opportunities that meet the requirements, such as creating or preserving at least ten full-time jobs for US workers.

If the application is approved, the investor receives a Conditional Green Card and changes it to a permanent one after two more years. After 5 years of holding a permanent Green Card, investors can apply for US citizenship.

Stay tuned to learn more about the EB‑5 Visa requirements, benefits, and risks.
