Do You Want To Know More About the New Gold Card?

The U.S. Gold Card is a proposed immigration program that may offer permanent residency to individuals who make a significant financial payment to the U.S. government. While the full details have not yet been released, preliminary reports suggest a required contribution of approximately $5 million.

No. The program has been announced in concept but is not yet active. The U.S. government has not released any official information regarding eligibility, timelines, or application procedures.

Based on early information, eligibility may be limited to individuals who are able and willing to make a substantial financial contribution to the U.S. It is not yet clear whether any other criteria—such as employment history, education, or language ability—will be required.

This is not yet known. The U.S. government has not clarified whether the proposed $5 million requirement would be refundable, directed toward specific programs, or treated as a one-time non-refundable payment. Until official guidance is issued, we cannot provide further details.

The EB-5 visa program allows individuals to apply for permanent residency by investing in a U.S. commercial enterprise that creates jobs. The proposed Gold Card program appears to be based on a different model—one that may involve a direct payment to the government rather than an active investment—but details remain unclear.

No. Applications are not currently being accepted, and no application process has been announced. We are monitoring developments closely and will update this page once new information becomes available.
