Monday, 2025/12/15134 words2 minutes1188 reads
President Donald Trump has unveiled a new immigration initiative called the Trump Gold Card. This program offers a fast-track to US residency for wealthy foreigners who can invest at least $1 million.
The Gold Card scheme promises to provide a 'direct path to Citizenship' for qualified applicants. Trump claims this will help American companies retain valuable talent. The program's website states that the $1 million fee is evidence that the individual will substantially benefit the United States.
For businesses sponsoring employees, the cost rises to $2 million. There's also a 'platinum' version planned, offering special tax breaks for $5 million. However, the program has faced criticism, with some arguing it unfairly favors the wealthy.
This initiative comes amid broader changes to US immigration policies, including increased work visa fees and deportations of undocumented migrants.
