EB-5 Investment Money Requirements
The United States government requires that all investors considering the EB-5 program prove that their investment money comes from a legal source and not from criminal activities. This means that there are certain requirements that investors must meet in order to prove that they are providing legal money for the program. If an investor can’t prove this, he or she may not be allowed to participate in the EB-5 program.

Proof of Legal Sources of Income
The U.S. government asks that all applicants for the EB-5 program have direct proof that their money was legally obtained before it is invested in a U.S. company. This can mean providing the following types of proof before investing:
- Official documents showing how funds were placed in a bank account
- Income tax records from several years
- Documents establishing the source of any loans
- Documents establishing the source of any funds gifted to the applicant
This proof can be somewhat of a burden for a potential investor to gather before applying for the EB-5 program. However, if the source of a person’s money isn’t clearly established, he or she will not be allowed to participate in the program at all.
