Trump Introduces Fast-Track Visa Program for Wealthy Immigrants

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled the Gold Card visa, a new immigration pathway allowing foreign nationals to obtain U.S. residency quickly in exchange for a payment of one million dollars, or two million dollars for companies sponsoring a foreign employee.

At a White House event, Trump described the program as "very exciting for me and the country," while the official application website trumpcard.gov has been launched for prospective applicants.

* How Does the Gold Card Work?

_ Application Fee: 15,000 dollars payable to the Department of Homeland Security.

_ Financial Contribution for Residency: One million dollars for individuals and two million dollars for companies sponsoring employees.

_ Processing Time: Only weeks, including a personal interview and security check.

_ Visa Type: EB_1 or EB_2, specifically for individuals with extraordinary or exceptional abilities.

* Who Will Benefit?

According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the program is designed for the economically capable individuals who can support the U.S. economy, representing a more robust version of the traditional Green Card.

* Upcoming Cards: "Platinum"

The website also hinted at a future "Trump Platinum Card," available for five million dollars, allowing applicants to stay in the U.S. for up to 270 days without their foreign income being subject to U.S. taxation.

* Economic Context

This program is intended as an alternative to the EB_5 investor visa, aiming to attract billions of dollars to bolster the U.S. economy and reduce national debt.

The announcement has sparked discussions about prioritizing the most skilled immigrants over the traditional Green Card system.

With the "Trump Gold Card," the path to the American Dream may no longer take years but can be purchased for just one million dollars!
