U.S. Unveils New Investor Visa Program
The United States has unveiled a new investor visa program allowing foreign nationals to live and work in America in exchange for substantial financial investment.
The U.S. government has launched a new program allowing foreign nationals to live and work in America through significant investment, while also helping companies retain skilled employees. Officials describe the initiative as a way to attract talent and strengthen the domestic labor market.
Applicants can pay one million dollars to receive a special card granting residency and work rights in the United States. The White House said the program is designed to draw highly skilled professionals and boost economic growth across industries.
A higher-tier option, called the “Trump Platinum Card,” costs five million dollars and allows holders to live in the U.S. for up to 270 days annually without paying taxes on foreign income. This has led to a surge of interest and long application queues.
Companies can also pay two million dollars for selected employees to obtain fast-track residency. Applicants must pass security screenings, and under certain conditions, they may apply for U.S. citizenship after several years.
Officials stress that these cards function similarly to a green card and help companies retain graduates from U.S. universities, preventing them from returning to their home countries. The program is expected to attract investment, support economic growth, and maintain key talent for American businesses.
Experts say the initiative could generate billions in federal revenue while providing a steady influx of capital and expertise. It may also enhance long-term development in the labor market and strengthen innovation across multiple sectors.
Critics, however, caution that while the program encourages investment and talent retention, it could favor wealthy applicants and raise questions about fairness in immigration policy. Still, analysts agree it represents a significant step toward combining economic growth with skilled migration.
