US President Donald Trump has rolled out a new initiative dubbed the ‘Gold Card’, offering affluent foreigners a chance to pursue US residency by paying $5 million. Unveiled today, the program positions itself as a luxurious entry point into American life, surpassing the standard green card. Trump communicated this news to the world through Truth Social, inviting applicants to join a waitlist via the freshly launched trumpcard.gov portal. He expressed excitement, noting a flood of inquiries from those eager to explore this “grand entry” into the world’s leading economy.

The ‘Gold Card’ does not promise instant citizenship but opens a pathway toward it, according to Trump, who insists no congressional nod is required since it’s not a direct citizenship grant. This differs from the traditional route, which involves five years of residence, English language skills, and a clean personal record for adults. The announcement has stirred debate, with some questioning its legal standing.

Interest is particularly high from India, where US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit 2025 earlier this month, predicted a warm reception. He suggested the scheme would attract wealthy Indians to invest in the US market, hinting at a future visit to India to promote it.
The initiative’s rollout includes a waitlist system, hinting at a gradual implementation, with more details to follow. While supporters view it as an innovative economic move, skeptics raise concerns about its implications. As applications begin, the ‘Gold Card’ could reshape immigration trends, though its success remains to be seen.
