Lets Czech business people get US trade visas if Czech Republic offers similar visas to Americans.

This bill would let business people from the Czech Republic apply for special trade visas to work in the U.S. This would only happen if the Czech government offers similar visas to American business people. Currently, Czech citizens cannot get these specific visas.

What Would Change

Today, citizens of the Czech Republic cannot apply for E1 trade visas to the U.S. If this bill passes, Czech citizens would be able to apply for these visas, but only if the Czech government first offers similar trade visas to American citizens.

Key Provisions

Adds the Czech Republic to the list of countries whose citizens can get E1 trade visas in the U.S.
Makes this change depend on the Czech Republic offering similar trade visas to U.S. citizens.
