U.S. to Offer ‘Gold Card’ Residency and Citizenship Path for Wealthy Foreigners – Trump Announces New $5 Million Program

In a bold new policy move, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States will introduce a "gold card" program, granting wealthy foreign investors the right to live and work in the country in exchange for a $5 million investment. The initiative also offers a pathway to U.S. citizenship, marking a significant shift in the nation's immigration and economic policies.

A New Route to U.S. Residency

Speaking at an event, Trump stated that the program aims to attract high-net-worth individuals who can contribute to the American economy through substantial investments. The gold card would function similarly to residency-by-investment schemes in other nations, allowing recipients to live and work in the U.S. while enjoying a streamlined path to citizenship.

"We want the best and the brightest. We want people who will invest in America, create jobs, and strengthen our economy," Trump said.

How the Program Works

According to preliminary details, applicants must:

Pay a $5 million fee to qualify for the program.

Pass a background check to ensure compliance with U.S. laws.

Maintain their investment and actively contribute to the economy through business or real estate ventures.

Reside in the U.S. for a certain period before applying for citizenship.


A Boost to the U.S. Economy?

The proposal comes as the U.S. continues to seek ways to boost foreign investment and job creation. Similar investor visa programs exist in countries like Canada, the UK, and Portugal, which offer residency or citizenship in exchange for financial contributions.

Critics argue that the policy may favor the wealthy while bypassing traditional immigration pathways. However, supporters believe it could help attract skilled entrepreneurs and business leaders who can drive economic growth.

While details of the program are still unfolding, Trump’s announcement has already sparked global interest, particularly among affluent individuals seeking U.S. residency opportunities.
