常见问题

Several visa options are available for startup founders, catering to various aspects of entrepreneurship. These include entrepreneur visas, investor visas, and visas for individuals with extraordinary ability. For instance, in the US, the E-2 visa is designed for treaty investors, the O-1A visa is for individuals with extraordinary ability in various fields, and the H-1B visa is for specialty occupations. Each country has its own set of visa categories tailored to entrepreneurs and startup founders. In Europe, many countries offer start-up visa programs designed to attract innovative businesses.

Determining the right visa involves considering your qualifications, business goals, and the specific requirements of the host country. For example, in the US, the E-2 visa is ideal for entrepreneurs from treaty countries with substantial investment capital, while the O-1A visa is for individuals with internationally recognized extraordinary ability. Consulting with an immigration provider like Deel can help you choose the best visa option for your entrepreneurial journey.

Eligibility criteria vary by visa type and country. Common requirements include sufficient investment funds, a detailed business plan, industry-related qualifications, extraordinary ability and skills, experience in the field, a clear criminal background, and proficiency in the host country’s language. For example, in the US, the E-2 visa requires substantial investment capital and being from a treaty country, while the O-1A visa requires internationally recognized extraordinary ability. In Europe, many start-up visa programs require an innovative business idea and participation in local incubators or accelerators.

No, you do not need to have your business established before applying for a visa. However, a detailed business plan and market analysis are often essential components of your visa application. These documents help demonstrate the viability and potential of your international startup. In some cases, you may need to provide proof of your business idea's innovation and potential for growth.

To apply for a founder visa, you typically need to complete an application form and submit supporting documents. In the US, for example, you would file a visa petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In Europe, the application process may involve submitting your business plan to a designated authority for evaluation. It’s crucial to ensure all required documents are in order and translated into the host country’s official language, such as English, if necessary.

Typical documentation includes a business plan proposal, proof of capital investment, and other relevant paperwork. For US visas like the O-1A, you may need to provide evidence of your extraordinary ability, such as awards, publications, and letters of recommendation. In Europe, you may need to submit proof of your innovative business idea, participation in incubators or accelerators, and sufficient funds to support your start-up business. Ensuring all required documents are in order is crucial for a successful visa petition.

Yes, many founder visas allow you to bring your family members with you. In the US, for example, E-2 visa holders can bring their spouses and unmarried children under 21. In Europe, many start-up visa programs allow family members to accompany the primary applicant. However, the specific rules and requirements vary by country, so it’s essential to consult with an immigration service like Deel for detailed information.

Processing times for founder visas vary by country and visa type. In the US, for example, the processing time for an E-2 visa can take several months. In Europe, processing times can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the specific visa program and the host country’s immigration policies. Using an immigration platform like Deel Immigration can help streamline the process and reduce processing times by simplifying document collection and providing personalized guidance.
