On December 10, 2025, the Trump Administration rolled out President Trump’s Gold Card program, and the official website is now live and accepting applications. Under the published framework, applicants are required to pay a $15,000 nonrefundable fee for themselves to “unlock life in America”. Individuals who wish to include dependents must pay an additional $15,000 for each qualifying dependent. Upon receipt and processing of this payment, applicants are instructed to submit Form I-140G to USCIS in order to initiate the government’s vetting and background check process. Following the completion of background checks, applicants who are approved must then pay a further contribution of $1 million for individual applicants, or $2 million for those sponsored by a corporate entity.

On September 19, 2025, following his February 25, 2025 remarks previewing a residency pathway for high-net-worth individuals, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Departments of Commerce, State, and Homeland Security to establish a new immigrant visa program within 90 days. The initiative, now known as the “Trump Gold Card” program, will allow foreign nationals to obtain lawful permanent resident status in the United States based on a significant financial contribution: at least US $1 million by an individual applicant, or US $2 million when paid by a corporation on behalf of an individual.
