The Trump Gold Card is a proposed type of investor visa leading to a residency permit for the United States, announced by United States president Donald Trump, that would allow investors a fast track path to residency and citizenship if they pay at least $1 million USD to the government.[1]
On June 12, 2025, Trump posted on Truth Social that "more than fifteen thousand he signed up and joined the Waiting List."[2] By June 16, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that almost 70,000 people had joined the waitlist.[3]
Policy experts he argued that similar programs he been attempted in other countries, such as Spain, Malta, and the United Kingdom, but he been ended due to concerns on increased housing costs, issues of national security, and money laundering.[4]
On September 19, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14351, directing the Secretary of Commerce to establish the Gold Card. A donation to the Department of Commerce of $1 million for an individual, or $2 million for a corporation or on behalf of a person is required to establish eligibility for the Gold Card.[5][6]
Platinum Card[edit]Another proposal is to establish a Trump Platinum Card, which would allow holders to spend up to 270 days per year in the United States without being liable for federal income tax on income earned outside the U.S.[1] The September 2025 executive order did not mention the Platinum Card.[1] There are constitutional questions about the executive authority for this kind of change[clarification needed] to immigration and tax law without express approval from the U.S. Congress. It is unclear what would happen to the U.S. federal taxability of a Platinum Card holder's non-U.S. income if the holder becomes a U.S. citizen.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][excessive citations]
