All EB5 visa investors must invest a certain amount of money in order to obtain a green card for permanent residency in the United States. But how much does each immigrant investor need to invest in order to qualify? Is it $1 million or just half of that – $500,000? EB5 foreign investments are subject to certain minimum amounts for those trying to qualify for an investor visa, and that minimum depends on where an immigrant investor is investing.

EB5 Investor Visa Opportunities at $1 Million

Regardless of whether an investor is investing inside or outside a regional center, the minimum investment amount for any EB5 immigrant investor is $1 million as long as that individual is not investing in a targeted employment area (TEA) or rural community. Each of these foreign investments must create at least 10 new, full-time jobs, of course.

Anyone considering U.S. investment through an EB5 visa should keep in mind that the $1 million dollar figure is a minimum requirement. Depending on the particular project, a greater investment may be needed in order to create at least 10 new jobs and ensure that the investment proves viable (and profitable).
