Bill overview
The AMIGOS Act aims to expand eligibility for U.S. E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrant visas to Portuguese nationals. If Portugal offers similar nonimmigrant status to U.S. citizens, Portugal would be recognized as a qualifying country for these visas. The bill also introduces stricter requirements for individuals seeking these visas, particularly regarding prior residency and investment in the qualifying country.
