Trump Touts His New Gold Card
President Donald Trump has launched a bold new immigration policy—introducing the “Gold Card” visa, a premium $5 million pathway to U.S. citizenship designed for high-net-worth individuals ready to invest in America.
A Game-Changer in U.S. Immigration: The Gold Card Visa
On board Air Force One, President Trump proudly revealed the new revenue-generating investor visa, holding up a sleek, gold-colored card featuring his image. Dubbed the “Gold Card” or “Trump Card”, this elite visa is being positioned as the gold standard for immigration reform under the America First agenda.
“For $5 million, this could be yours,” Trump said, flashing the card. “Anybody want to buy one?”
This isn’t just a symbolic gesture—it’s a complete overhaul of the old EB-5 investor visa program, which has long been criticized for inefficiencies and abuse. The new visa replaces it with a high-value immigration option designed to attract wealthy, vetted investors who want to contribute directly to the U.S. economy.
Wealthy Immigrants Who Build America
“You’ve had the green card. Now, this is the gold card,” Trump declared.
The Gold Card visa will be available within two weeks and offers a fast-track to legal work status and eventual U.S. citizenship—but only for individuals willing to make a significant economic contribution.
These elite immigrants will be:
- Creating American jobs
- Paying significant taxes
- Spending and investing in U.S. businesses
- Contributing to national prosperity
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphasized that while applicants will be thoroughly vetted, the focus is on economic impact, not bureaucracy.
Surge of Interest From Global Investors
Since the announcement of the new program, the Trump administration reports thousands of interested applicants from around the world—especially from business-friendly nations in Asia and the Middle East.
This aligns with Trump’s broader strategy of reciprocal tariffs and tough trade reforms, pushing global elites to invest in American industry rather than exploit it.
“They’re not just coming here,” Trump said. “They’re bringing jobs, cash, and long-term value to the United States.”
What This Means for America’s Future
The Gold Card visa represents a major win for patriotic Americans who believe in rewarding success, protecting our borders, and boosting our economy through smart, selective immigration.
It’s part of a broader movement led by President Trump to make immigration great again—by ensuring it serves the American worker, the U.S. taxpayer, and our nation’s future.
