Understanding The Trump Gold Card Visa
The Gold Card Visa, also known as the Trump Gold Card, is a newly launched U.S. visa program designed for investors who wish to acquire a Green Card in record time.
Key features include:
- Residency for you and your family: A $1 million contribution can secure Green Cards, opening doors to education, business, and long-term stability in the United States.
- Corporate-sponsored contribution: A $2 million donation made by a corporation or similar entity on your behalf may also make you eligible for the Gold Card Visa program.
- A strong foundation for citizenship: Once you’ve settled in as a permanent resident, you could be eligible for citizenship after five years, or sooner if you’re married to a U.S. citizen.
The program, which is still being rolled out, is expected to issue 80,000 Gold Card Visas.
The Gold Card Visa will replace the EB-1 and EB-2 visa programs for people who offer “exceptional value” to the U.S.
Important Considerations Before You Apply
Unlike traditional routes, the Gold Card Visa lets qualified investors bypass lengthy job-creation requirements and get Green Card approval with a single contribution that brings substantial benefit to the United States.
If your finances are in good shape and everything checks out on paper, odds are you’ll have few bumps along the way. Even if there are concerning issues in your past, good preparation with the help of a caring, expert attorney can help you achieve your immigration goals.
Becoming a U.S. permanent resident unlocks long-term opportunities, from enrolling children in top schools to securing your family’s financial future.
By collaborating with seasoned legal and financial advisors, you can simplify the residency and tax process, avoiding common pitfalls that can delay approval.
As a new program, the Gold Card Visa initiative may evolve over time. By working with experienced immigration attorneys, you can stay ahead of policy changes, remain compliant, and benefit from evolving opportunities.

Gold Card Visa Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Trump Gold Card Visa?
The Gold Card Visa provides U.S. permanent residency (a Green Card) to individuals who make a non-refundable $1 million contribution demonstrating substantial benefit to the United States.
How Is The Gold Card VIsa Different From The EB-5 Investor Visa?
The EB-5 visa requires job-creating investments with long processing times. The Gold Card Visa is faster, contribution-based, and does not require investment in U.S. businesses or projects.
Who Is Eligible To Apply For The Gold Card Visa?
You’ll need to show that your $1 million comes from a legitimate source with tax returns, bank records, and financial statements. You’ll also need to pass a background check and make sure nothing in your record raises red flags with immigration officials.
How Long Does The Gold Card Visa Process Take?
While no guaranteed timeline has been announced, the Gold Card Visa is intended to be much faster than EB-5 and other Green Card categories, typically within several months.
Is The $1 Million Contribution Refundable?
No. The contribution is non-refundable, making professional legal preparation critical before filing.
Can My Family Apply With Me For A Gold Card Visa?
Yes. Your spouse and children under 21 can apply with you and receive Green Cards as derivative applicants alongside your approval.
Does The Gold Card Visa Lead To US Citizenship?
Yes. Once approved, Gold Card Visa recipients become permanent residents. After five years (or three if you are married to a U.S. citizen), you can apply for naturalization.

Can I Travel Outside The US Often If I Have A Gold Card Visa?
You can travel outside the U.S., but long absences might affect your permanent resident status or your eligibility for naturalization. Talk to our team at Spar & Bernstein to understand the risks and how to avoid problems.
What Documents Do I Need To Prove The Source Of Funds?
To show where your money came from, you might use bank or business records, tax returns, investment documentation, or anything else that shows how money was earned and transferred.
Can Gold Card Visa Status Be Revoked?
Yes. The Gold Card Visa grants permanent residency, but it can be revoked if you pose national security concerns, commit fraud in your application, or violate U.S. immigration laws.
How Does The Gold Card Visa Affect My Taxes?
