Bill overview
The AMIGOS Act aims to strengthen international business relationships by allowing Portuguese nationals to apply for E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrant visas. These visas are typically for international traders and investors, and the bill establishes a reciprocal agreement: if the United States grants similar nonimmigrant status to Portuguese nationals, Portugal will be eligible to do the same. This legislation simplifies the visa process for Portuguese citizens seeking to engage in trade or investment in the U.S.
