Donald Trump Opens Enrollment for $5 Million 'Gold Card' Offering Path to US Residency
In a bold move, former US President Donald Trump has launched a new website inviting interested individuals to join the waitlist for a highly publicized "Gold Card" priced at $5 million. This exclusive card promises a direct route to legal immigration and eventual permanent residency in the United States.
What Is the Trump Gold Card?
The Trump Gold Card is framed as a premium immigration option, bypassing traditional visa hurdles and providing holders with a pathway toward US permanent residency. Though touted as revolutionary, Trump has stressed that this card does not grant immediate citizenship nor requires Congressional approval.
During the official launch, the website features an elegant gold-colored card embossed with Trump's likeness alongside iconic American symbols such as the Statue of Liberty, the US flag, and the Great Seal bearing a bald eagle.
How to Register for the Trump Card Waitlist
The newly unveiled platform trumpcard.gov collects basic applicant details to notify potential buyers once the card becomes available. Prospective candidates need to provide the following information:
- Full name
- Region of residence (options include Europe, Asia including the Middle East, North America, Oceania, Central America, South America, Caribbean, and Africa)
- Email address
- Application type (individual or business)
This streamlined approach aims to organize interest globally and prepare for eventual sales.
Trump’s Vision and Clarifications
Trump first proposed the Gold Card concept earlier this year as a more lucrative and high-profile alternative to the current "EB-5" immigrant investor visa program. This program typically enables foreign investors to obtain green cards by investing a substantial amount in US businesses.
On the social media platform Truth Social, Trump expressed excitement over the response, stating: "For $5 million, the Trump Card is coming. Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World."
Despite this enthusiasm, some details remain murky. The White House has indicated that more information regarding the exact process to citizenship following card acquisition will be shared in the near future. For now, the card primarily serves as a gateway to permanent residency, but without Congressional ratification.
What This Means for Immigrants and Investors
The Trump Gold Card offers a fresh, albeit expensive, option for affluent individuals looking to secure a foothold in the United States. With its hefty price tag and uncertain citizenship timelines, potential buyers may weigh the benefits against existing immigration pathways.
Whether this initiative will reshape US immigration or face legal and political challenges remains to be seen. For those interested, the clock is ticking to join the waitlist and stay informed on future updates.
