On September 19, 2025, President Donald Trump officially announced the Trump Gold Card program — dubbed by the media as the “U.S. Golden Residency Card.” This is a residency option for individuals willing to contribute from USD 1 million or more.
Although it was only recently announced, the Trump Gold Card immediately generated a wave of interest as it promises to offer a fast-track immigration opportunity for global investors.
Before the Trump Gold Card, the EB-5 program was the most famous U.S. investment immigration route.
