Requirements for Obtaining a U.S. Residence Permit:

From $100,000–200,000

There is no legally mandated minimum investment threshold. In practice, investments typically range from US$100,000 to US$200,000, depending on the type of business, the region of registration, and startup costs. The investment must be sufficient to ensure the full operation of the business, rent an office, and (if opening a new office) hire employees during the first year of operation.
