You have your E-2 visa (long-term stay) can go into Self - quarantine in their homes. Your employer will provide your housing upon your arrival (unless facility isolation has been agreed by each party) and they will pay for the rent during your stay. There are few things you need to expect at the airport. 

  • Must Wear a facemask all the time and minimize contact or conversation with others. 
  • If you are using a call van service that we have arranged, the driver has a picket with your name on it. He will take you to your arranged housing, unfortunately no one can meet you there for 14 days
