US President Donald Trump launched a new website, TrumpCard.gov, for his $5 million US residency visa program. The site opened a waiting list for the “golden visa,” aimed at wealthy investors. Trump urged people worldwide to register early to secure a chance at this exclusive permit.
Trump first announced the visa plan in April aboard Air Force One, showing a golden prototype with his face. He promised the permit would be available soon, calling it a “beautiful road” to enter the US market. The website allows interested applicants to submit their names, visa type, and email addresses.
This visa is a premium version of the traditional green card and targets job creators and investors. Trump said it could generate revenue to reduce the US national deficit and provide a fast track to citizenship. Officials hope the program will attract foreign capital and boost the economy.
The launch comes amid rising immigration enforcement and deportation raids, which have triggered protests nationwide. Trump’s administration also faces legal challenges and accusations of rights violations related to its tough immigration policies.
Trump mentioned that even wealthy foreigners, including Russian oligarchs, might qualify for the visa. The administration’s goal is to sell up to one million visas, potentially transforming US immigration with this new high-cost permit.
