A bill to include Czechia in the list of foreign states whose nationals are eligible for admission into the United States as E-1 nonimmigrants if United States nationals are treated similarly by the Government of Czechia.

Introduced·2/6/25

This bill would allow Czech nationals to be admitted into the U.S. as E-1 nonimmigrants if the U.S. grants similar status to Czech nationals.

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to include Czechia in the list of foreign states whose nationals are eligible for admission into the United States as E-1 nonimmigrants. This eligibility is contingent upon the Government of Czechia providing similar nonimmigrant status to nationals of the United States. E-1 nonimmigrant status pertains to treaty traders, facilitating temporary entry for business activities.
