Dependent children will no longer qualify for renewals under the same E2 once they turn 21. There are different ways to structure an E2 for dependent children over 21. The first route is if the child acquires at least 50% of the existing E2 company that is owned by their parent. This will make the child eligible for an a fresh E2 . The second option is to apply for an E2 Employee permit, provided the child is of the same nationality as the parent, and they meet the requirements under the E2 treaty.
