EB-5 Visa

Professionals living outside of the United States can become a business owner in Florida with the help of the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as EB-5.

Every fiscal year, 10,000 EB-5 visas are made available to qualifying, foreign investors. This program will make you eligible to purchase a Florida business or start your own.

Obtain Your EB-5 Visa By Investing in Florida Real Estate

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor visa can also be obtained by investing in Florida real estate. FBM has the network and resources required to help you purchase commercial or residential investment real estate to qualify you for the EB5 investor’s visa. The investment capital needed for the EB5 visa can be as low as $500,000. FBM can also help you set up the company and manage the properties.

An Easier Way to Obtain a Green Card

In contrast to other U.S. visa programs, the EB-5 program does not require:

  • Business or special training experience, specific language skills, or age requirements
  • The need to permanently reside in the United States, just maintaining a residence anywhere in the country.
  • Restrictions on you, your spouse or your children (under 21 at the time of application) to work anywhere in the United States, start a business, attend school or simply retire
  • Travel restrictions
  • The need to manage your investment on a daily basis, becoming a limited partner will suffice

How it Works

Since it’s founding, America has welcomed immigrants from all walks of life–immigrants who have collectively helped to shape the American Dream. Today, with employment rates in constant flux , the need for continued economic growth is ever more important.

The EB-5 program creates a mutually beneficial situation for residents and immigrants alike. It provides foreign immigrants the opportunity to save existing jobs as well as to create new ones. In return, immigrant investors are afforded the opportunity to permanently live and work in the United States.
