Trump Gold Card Visa: $5,000,000 Green Card

In February 2025, just weeks into his second presidential term, Donald Trump announced plans to introduce a new immigration program: the Trump “Gold Card” Visa. This proposed initiative would allow high-net-worth foreign nationals to obtain U.S. permanent residency—commonly known as a green card—in exchange for a $5 million investment into the United States.
 
What Is the Trump Gold Card Visa?
 
The Trump Gold Card Visa is being positioned as a streamlined route to a U.S. green card for investors and their families, with an eventual pathway to U.S. citizenship. Early indications suggest that, unlike the current EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, the Gold Card Visa would not require job creation or participation in designated regional centers.
 
In addition to fewer bureaucratic hurdles, significant tax benefits have been touted. President Trump stated that Gold Card Visa holders would be exempt from paying U.S. taxes on foreign-earned income, a key draw for global investors seeking U.S. residency without a global tax burden.
 
Gold Card Visa vs. EB-5 Investor Visa
 
Although the Trump administration has expressed a desire to replace the EB-5 program with the new Gold Card Visa, doing so would require congressional approval. As such, it’s more likely that the two investor visa programs would operate concurrently, offering international investors the opportunity to choose the best fit for their immigration goals and financial circumstances.
 
When Will the Trump Gold Card Visa Launch?
 
As of May 22, 2025, the White House has not released concrete details regarding eligibility criteria, application requirements, or processing timelines. However, on May 21, 2025, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that an official website—www.TrumpCard.gov—would launch within a week. The site is expected to allow interested parties to register for updates and learn more about securing a U.S. green card through a $5 million investment.
