Donald Trump Unveils "Gold Card" Visas for $1 Million
The Gold Card program replaces EB-1 and EB-2 visas, offering 80,000 residency spots and aims to generate over $100 billion for the US Treasury through wealthy applicants' contributions.
- President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on September 19, 2025, at the White House establishing the Gold Card visa program.
- The order responds to prior administration immigration policies considered disastrous and aims to prioritize wealthy immigrants contributing financially to the U.S.
- The Gold Card offers expedited permanent residency to individuals donating $1 million or corporations donating $2 million, replacing EB-1 and EB-2 visa categories.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said about 80,000 Gold Cards will be issued after intensive vetting requiring a $15,000 fee, and the program replaces other employment-based visas.
- The program could generate billions for the U.S. Treasury but faces legal challenges and might limit applicants due to global tax requirements imposed on Gold Card holders.
