US President Trump announced on December 10, local time, that the US government will officially accept applications for the “Trump Gold Card” visa program starting the same day. The so-called “Gold Card Program” aims to encourage wealthy people from around the world to move to the US and obtain residence permits by charging high fees. Trump signed an executive order in mid-September this year requiring the US Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Homeland Security to “take all necessary and appropriate measures to implement the 'Gold Card Plan'” within 90 days. Under the Gold Card Program, individuals are required to pay 1 million US dollars, and companies are required to pay 2 million US dollars to obtain an individual's US residency status. Applicants are also required to pay an additional $15,000 in processing and review fees. As early as February of this year, Trump announced that he would launch a $5 million “gold card” for immigrants. Today, the “Gold Card” price has been reduced to $1 million. In addition, the US government will also launch a “platinum card” with a price of 5 million US dollars. Cardholders can “stay in the US for up to 270 days without paying US taxes on overseas income.” Currently, the “Platinum Card Program” is marked “coming soon” on the US government website.
