President Donald Trump has signed an order launching the Trump Gold Card program, which will allow individuals and corporations to obtain expedited residency rights in the United States, according to the President’s Oval Office briefing and Fox News.
US President Donald Trump signed an order to launch the Trump Gold Card, which he says will attract billions of dollars and give both individuals and corporations a fast-track path to US residency.
"Individuals will pay $1 million. Corporations pay $2 million. This will bring in billions that will go toward lowering taxes and debt," Trump said.
The card design features a portrait of the president, the Statue of Liberty, and the American flag on a gold background, with the inscription "Trump Gold Card" on the left.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump added:
"For far too long, we have had millions of Illegal Aliens pouring into our Country, and our Immigration System was broken," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "It is beyond time that the American People, and American Taxpayers, are benefitting from our LEGAL Immigration System."
-
Individuals can purchase the card for $1 million, while corporations will later be able to apply for $2 million.
-
Applicants must submit documentation and pay a non-refundable registration fee, triggering an expedited review by US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
-
After a detailed background check and approval, recipients are issued the Trump Gold Card, valid across all 50 states and territories.
-
Holders receive permanent resident status, equivalent to EB-1 or EB-2 visa categories.
-
The card functions as a visa but can be revoked on national security or other grounds.
Trump said he expects the program to generate more than $100 billion quickly, earmarked for tax cuts, growth projects, and debt repayment.
Trump Platinum Card
The administration also plans to launch the Trump Platinum Card, which will allow individuals to live in the US for up to 270 days a year without being taxed on foreign income. It is intended to replace tourist visas.
Though not yet issued, the official website urges applicants to join the waitlist immediately, as applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Immigration policy under Trump's second term
Since returning to the office, Trump has moved to toughen immigration rules:
-
New restrictions require non-immigrant visa applications to be submitted only in the applicant’s home country or country of permanent residence.
-
Trump announced plans for a military operation to deport undocumented migrants from Chicago.
-
US immigration authorities have also highlighted deportation cases involving Ukrainian nationals.
