EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

Overview of the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Visa

  • EB-5 U.S. Immigrant Investor Visa is a U.S. residency-by-investment program approved by the U.S. Congress in 1990, designed for foreign investors seeking green cards for their entire family.
  • By investing a minimum of USD 800,000 (approximately VND 19 billion) in a targeted employment area and creating 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers, the investor, along with their spouse and unmarried children under 21, will be granted green cards and enjoy full U.S. permanent resident benefits.
  • The program offers two investment options: direct investment and investment through a Regional Center. Among these, investment through a Regional Center provides significant advantages, making it easier to meet program requirements and is the primary choice for most investors.
  • Currently, while there are several U.S. residency-by-investment programs, the EB-5 Regional Center program is the most straightforward, secure, and officially recognized path to obtaining a U.S. green card. It ensures a safe route for your U.S. immigration plan as well as the potential recovery of your investment capital.

Benefits of the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Visa

  • Granted U.S. Green Cards for the entire family.
  • Enjoy full benefits equivalent to those of U.S. citizens. Investors and their family members have the right to live, study, and work anywhere in the United States.

  • Opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship upon meeting eligibility requirements.
  • After obtaining U.S. citizenship, the investor’s family can travel freely to 186 countries worldwide without a visa or with only an electronic visa.
