Washington DC [US], December 11 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (local time) launched the Trump Gold Card, which he said offers more benefits than a green card.
At a roundtable event, Trump announced his “gold card” immigration policy, saying it would fast-track visas for certain immigrants in exchange for a hefty fee. “Very excitingly, for me and for the country, we’ve just launched the Trump gold card. About 30 minutes from now, the site goes up and all funds go to the United States government,” the president said.
He described it as “somewhat like a green card, but with big advantages over a green card,” saying companies could purchase the card to keep selected graduates in the United States. Trump cited demand from tech firms, naming Apple and Tim Cook, and said the program would bring “many billions of dollars” into the US Treasury.
Trump first previewed the gold card program in February and signed an executive order in September directing his administration to establish an application process. The new pathway allows foreigners to pay USD 1 million to expedite their visa application, or for companies to pay USD 2 million to sponsor a foreign worker. In February he also proposed a version priced at about USD 5 million that would grant green-card privileges and a route to citizenship.
