Trump Gold Card - A New Pathway to
U.S. Residency

Overview

The Trump Gold Card introduces a new pathway for individuals from other countries to reside in the United States. This program is designed for those seeking permanent residency under the EB-1 or EB-2 visa categories.

Key Features

Application Requirements:

• Payment of a $15,000 government fee
• A $1 million “gift” to the U.S. government
• Successful completion of a background check to confirm eligibility

Permanent Residency:

• Upon meeting all requirements, a special card is issued, granting lawful permanent resident status.
• Processing is intended to be expedited, but background checks and visa retrogression may still cause delays.

Corporate Sponsorship

Employers can assist employees in obtaining a Trump Corporate Gold Card.

• The company pays $2 million per worker, plus the $15,000 application fee.
• If an employee becomes a U.S. citizen, the card may be transferred to another individual for a small fee.

Upcoming: Trump Platinum Card

A Trump Platinum Card is expected soon.

• By paying $5 million plus the $15,000 fee, holders may stay in the U.S. for up to 270 days per year.
• No U.S. taxes are owed on income earned abroad during this period.

Comparison to EB-5 Visa

• The Trump Gold Card does not require investment in a business or job creation, unlike the EB-5 visa.
• The program is based on payment and a successful background check.
• Applicants must still wait their turn if there is high demand from their country of origin.
