Trump Pitches $5 Million ‘Golden Visa’ for the Ultra-Rich Russian Oligarchs Welcome

[12/06, 9:04 am] rosewendy: President Donald Trump announced Wednesday the launch of a new website for his proposed $5 million U.S. residency visa, dubbed the "Trump Card." The online platform, now live at TrumpCard.gov, allows interested applicants to join a waiting list for what the former president has billed as an exclusive pathway to American residency. “Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the Greatest Country and Market anywhere in the World,” Trump said in a social media statement promoting the site. The high-priced residency visa — which Trump first teased in April while aboard Air Force One, holding a golden prototype card featuring his likeness — is intended as a premium alternative to the traditional U.S. green card. While the visas are not yet available for purchase or application, the new website invites visitors to submit their name, email address, and preferred visa type under the banner “The Trump Card is Coming.” Trump has pitched the program as a strategy to attract wealthy investors and entrepreneurs, claiming it could bolster the U.S. economy and potentially help address the national deficit. In February, he suggested that up to a million of these residency permits could be issued, and notably did not exclude the possibility that Russian oligarchs or other foreign elites might be eligible. The launch arrives at a contentious moment for U.S. immigration policy. The Trump administration has been intensifying deportation operations nationwide, drawing protests and legal challenges over alleged civil rights violations and aggressive enforcement tactics. Despite the controversy, Trump has continued to promote the visa program as a direct route to U.S. citizenship for those able to afford its steep price tag.
