Home » Trump Gold Card

In September 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order to allow individuals or corporations to gain immigrant visas by contributing $1 million dollars to the United States government. Corporations can also submit $2 million to sponsor individuals. The program officially went live on December 10, 2025, and during the initial phase, the government plans to issue up to 80,000 Trump Gold Cards to successful applicants.

Through this program, applicants will “gift” the money to the U.S. Treasury, and according to the White House, the contributions will be used for investment in U.S. commerce and industry.

The Gold Card offers qualifying high-net-worth foreign nationals an expedited pathway to lawful permanent resident status. It is expected to be a faster alternative to the EB-5 process, which also requires a substantial at-risk investment of either $800,000 or $1,050,000 in commercial projects or Targeted Employment Areas. Foreign nationals can also pursue residency through the standard EB-1 and EB-2 petitions without investing funds, but they must possess extraordinary ability in one of the designated fields (EB-1) or be a professional with an advanced degree or who holds exceptional ability in business, or the sciences or arts (EB2).

How the Trump Gold Card Program Works

The Trump Gold Card program grants eligibility under the EB-1 or EB-2 categories. Applicants must file Form I-140G, Immigrant Petition for the Gold Card Program, and submit the $1 million gift, while corporations will need to submit $2 million for each employee they would like to sponsor. The administration also created a Platinum Card option of $5 million, which would grant holders up to 270 tax-free days annually while they are in the United States.

Who qualifies for the Gold Card?

To be approved for the Trump Gold Card, applicants must still meet the following qualifications:

You must qualify under the EB-1 (extraordinary ability) or EB-2 (national interest waiver) immigrant visa categories
You must be considered admissible under U.S. immigration laws
You must not have any convictions for crimes of moral turpitude (CIMT)
You must provide your employment history and educational credentials
You must provide 5 years of bank statements and other proof of qualifications

Spouses and unmarried children under age 21 will also be required to pay $1 million as well as a $15,000 fee each. You and your family members will also be subject to visa availability based on your country of origin.

How to Apply for the Trump Gold Card

Visit TrumpCard.gov to pre-register and pay the $15,000 processing fee for each applicant
Once you receive authorization to do so, create a USCIS online account
Submit Form I-140G through the USCIS online account and include supporting documentation
Undergo vetting and background checks
Submit the $1 million “gift” or $2 million (corporations), if approved

Having the required funds does not guarantee that you will be approved for the Trump Gold Card program. You will still need to meet the required qualifications and have all the necessary documents to support your application. If you are ready to take the next step toward permanent residency, US-ILC can review your qualifications and guide you through the complex application process for obtaining a Trump Gold Card.

We are extremely thankfuk for US immigration Law Council for representing us in our N-400 naturalization process. I reached out to this firm last minute as the previous attorney I was working with was not able to make the interview. The staff at US immigration Law Council layed everything out and explained every step of the process. They put a packet together, practiced the interview over zoom and even had an attorney drive 2 hours to represent us. This firm made the process less stressful for us. We had a straight forward case but I wanted to have representation in case things took a turn as this was a huge and final step in securing the American dream. I want to thank Attorney Savita and all of the staff for making this process so smooth and helping us getting approved.

We are truly overwhelmed by the services rendered by FILC in dealing with our PR application from inception to completion. Saman and her team were consummate professionals - a reflection of how Saman values her clients. Service and client satisfaction were their priority throughout. Such value was borne out by the fact that Saman met with us personally at our face to face meeting, not merely passing us off to an assistant. Both Saman and the team were readily accessible at all times throughout the process of our application and promptly responded to all inquiries. At no time money was an object of discussion or concern. I highly recommend Saman and FILC should you require the services of a firm which values, respects and handles their client affairs with integrity in a most timely and efficient manner.
