The Trump administration has launched the highly controversial “Trump Gold Card,” originally proposed to expedite U.S. visas to wealthy foreign applicants who could pay $5 million for the visa. The “Gold Card” has been dropped to $1 million, with the $5 million option now a “Platinum” level. The visa is described as providing a fast track to citizenship for qualified, vetted individuals and a way for American companies to retain top global talent.
According to the program’s website, applicants must show they will bring “substantial benefit” to the United States. The standard Gold Card requires a $1 million payment, while businesses sponsoring employees must pay $2 million plus additional fees. A forthcoming $5 million “platinum” tier will include special tax advantages.
Applicants may also face extra government fees based on their circumstances, and all individuals must pay a non-refundable $15,000 processing charge before their applications are reviewed.
