🥇 U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order launching a new immigration program, Trump Gold Card, which allows wealthy foreigners and corporations to obtain expedited residency in the United States.

Program terms

According to the president, individuals can purchase a Gold Card for $1 million, while corporations pay $2 million per employee.

Holders of the Trump Gold Card will receive permanent resident status under EB-1 or EB-2 visas. The card will be valid across all 50 states.

The White House noted that the Gold Card status may be revoked in case of national security threats or other risks.

Platinum tier for the wealthiest

The program also includes a premium option — Trump Platinum Card. It costs $5 million and allows holders to stay in the U.S. for up to 270 days per year without paying U.S. taxes on income earned abroad.

Thus, wealthy foreigners gain not only expedited immigration but also tax benefits.

Design and symbolism

The Trump Gold Card will be gold-colored, featuring the president, the Statue of Liberty, and the American flag, with the inscription “Trump Gold Card.”

Trump emphasized on his Truth Social account that the initiative aims to strengthen legal immigration mechanisms: “Today we are proud to announce the launch of TRUMP GOLD CARD. The card will be available for $1 million for individuals and $2 million for corporations. For far too long, millions of illegal migrants poured into our country, and our immigration system was broken. It is time for the American people and American taxpayers to benefit from our LEGAL immigration system. We anticipate that TRUMP GOLD CARD will generate over $100 billion very quickly. These funds will be used for tax reduction, pro-growth projects, and debt reduction.”

Economic impact

The president expects the program to bring over $100 billion to the budget, to be used for tax cuts, economic growth, and debt reduction.

“They will spend a lot of money to come here. This will generate billions of dollars that will go to tax cuts, debt repayment, and other good causes,” Trump said while signing the executive order.

How to apply

Applicants must complete a form, pay a non-refundable registration fee, and undergo expedited review by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The White House website already has a “Apply Now” section, requiring name, residence region, and email address.

New fee for H-1B work visas

In addition to the Gold Card launch, Trump signed an order introducing an additional $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications for qualified foreign workers.

The White House explained the measure is aimed at stopping abuses that “took jobs away from Americans.” Now entry under H-1B will only be possible after paying the new fee, significantly raising the barrier for foreign specialists.

Questions and criticism

It is unclear how quickly the new visas will be issued or whether Congressional approval will be required. Experts note that such programs often raise debates about fairness and the risk of turning the immigration system into a tool for the ultra-wealthy.

Nevertheless, Trump insists the new program is a “revolution in U.S. immigration policy” that will simultaneously bring investment inflows and strengthen border control.
