"On Wednesday, through a legally dubious executive order, President Donald Trump launched the "Trump Card," a means by which wealthy immigrants or their corporate backers can expedite their visa process and gain entry into the United States. "THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT'S TRUMP GOLD CARD IS HERE TODAY!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Wednesday. "A direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people. SO EXCITING!""
"The individual Trump Gold Card requires a $15,000 payment to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), plus some extra fees. With an additional $1 million contribution and a fully vetted background check, recipients can expedite their visa process. The Trump Gold Card for corporations requires the same fees plus a $2 million contribution from a company to sponsor a foreign worker. The "card" allows the company to "transfer" who the card applies to (e.g. other workers) for a 5 percent fee."
President Trump issued a legally dubious executive order establishing a paid "Trump Gold Card" program to expedite visa processing and U.S. entry for wealthy immigrants or corporate-sponsored workers. The administration markets the program as offering a direct path to citizenship, but beneficiaries receive lawful permanent resident status as EB-1 or EB-2 visa holders and may later pursue naturalization. The individual card requires a $15,000 DHS payment plus fees and an optional $1 million contribution to expedite processing; the corporate card adds a $2 million company contribution and permits transfers for a 5 percent fee. A $5 million "Platinum" card promising residency and tax-favored U.S. presence is planned.
