Thursday, June 12, 2025 - US President Donald Trump on Wednesday night announced the $5 million Gold Card visa is now open for signups, allowing wealthy foreign nationals to register their interest in the program, which intends to offer them a fast track to U.S. citizenship.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump
shared a link to the website—which refers to the visa as “The Trump Card.
He claimed that “Thousands have been calling and asking how
they can sign up,” for the program and noted, “THE WAITING LIST IS NOW OPEN.”
Visitors to TrumpCard.gov are encouraged to submit their
name, region and email address, and specify whether they are applying as an
individual or a business, in order “to be notified the moment access opens”.
“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,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“It’s called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE WAITING LIST
IS NOW OPEN.”
The site also includes an image of the “Trump Card,”
featuring a photo and signature of the president—a version of which he showed
reporters aboard Air Force One back in April
Trump first proposed the residency visa in February, saying
his administration would offer wealthy applicants a “gold card” that grants
residency and work rights as well as a path to citizenship.
“They’ll be wealthy, and they’ll be successful, and they’ll
be spending a lot of money, and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of
people,” Trump said at the time.
In April, Trump displayed a sample visa – a gold-coloured
card bearing his visage – to reporters on board Air Force One.
Trump administration officials have suggested that the card
will replace the EB-5 immigrant investor visa programme, which grants permanent
residency to immigrants who invest at least $1.05m in the US, or $800,000 in
designated economically distressed areas.
