US President Donald Trump on Wednesday launched a new visa program ‘Trump Gold Card’ in the presence of business leaders at the White House. This is being considered a major immigration initiative of the Trump administration, which is designed with the aim of attracting investors and global talent to America. Trump described it as much better than the Green Card and claimed that it would bring both wealth and skills to the American economy on a large scale.
Strategy to attract high value investors
According to Trump, this new Gold Card program is specifically designed for foreign investors and entrepreneurs who want to bring their capital, business and talent to America. He says that this will provide new opportunities to American industry, companies will get qualified people and there will be a big jump in the country’s economic progress.
Trump also indicated that this program could prove to be a boon for those areas where there has been a complaint of lack of foreign experts for a long time. According to him, ‘Many talented youth of the world had to go back to their countries like India, China or France after completing their studies, but now companies will be able to stop them in America.
Gold Card website now live
President Trump announced that the official website of the Gold Card has gone live and the application process has also been started. Now foreign citizens can apply for this special visa by filling the online form. The most important condition for obtaining a Gold Card is to contribute 1 million dollars (about 1 million dollars) to the US treasury. This money will go directly to the US government and in return the applicant will get permanent residence i.e. permission to live and work in America.
Different from Green Card – what benefits will you get?
Trump claims that the Gold Card will not only provide a faster process than the Green Card, but will also provide some additional facilities to businesses. Companies can also arrange for the card to be issued directly to eligible employees so that they do not have to go through long visa waits. He laughingly said that he knows that companies like Apple will be very happy with this announcement. Trump said that Tim Cook has been talking to him on this issue for a long time and technology companies will consider it a big relief.
Billions of dollars will come to the American treasury
According to Trump, this is not just a visa program but also a major revenue source for the American economy. He expressed hope that due to the Gold Card, billions of dollars will be deposited in the American treasury in the coming time, which will give new economic strength to the country.
