Trump's Gold Card: $1M Fee Fast-Tracks US Residency for Ultra-Wealthy

• Trump launched the "Trump Gold Card" to offer wealthy foreigners a fast track to US permanent residency.
• Applicants must contribute $1 million directly to the US government, plus a $15,000 processing fee.
• The Gold Card replaces the EB-5 visa, shifting from job-creation investments to a direct fee-based contribution.
• Unlike EB-5, the Gold Card requires no job creation or capital return and is expected to offer faster processing.
• Successful Gold Card applicants receive permanent residency through the EB-1 or EB-2 visa categories.

Why It Matters: It creates a direct, faster US residency path for the wealthy, replacing job-focused visas.
