The EB-5 Program - Requirements of USA Residence by Investment

Updated: Sep 14, 2023

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is perceived as the golden visa for both investors and aspiring investors hoping to move permanently to the USA. It's an efficient program that requires little processing time in comparison to other immigration programs. Here are the main requirements to bear in mind when considering The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.



The USA is commonly known as a top destination for investors. It is an attractive, promising, and prosperous location for both investors and aspiring investors. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is a route many opt for when planning to move permanently to the USA. For many individuals, it is the most efficient and straightforward route to ensure a green card.


The program was built around generating jobs for the US economy. The program requires foreign individuals to invest in a new commercial enterprise 'associated with government-approved regional centers based on proposals for promoting economic growth.' Investors must either invest $1,050,000 into a non-targeted employment area project or $800,000 into a targeted employment area project in an area of the States with high unemployment or rural locations. Secondly, they must create or preserve ten permanent full-time jobs for qualified US workers. Only then does the investor receive the green card; funds must generally stay invested for at least five years before the 'permanent resident' status is granted.


The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program process typically takes 30 to 36 months to receive the initial conditional green cards. Immediate family members (spouse and dependent children under 21 years of age) are considered in the primary investor’s petition, and they can become permanent residents of the USA within a short period of time too. It is important to note that individual applicants must have a net worth of USD 1 million or more and provide proof that their funds come from legal sources to qualify and attain the EB-5 Visa.
