US Opens $5M Gold Card Waiting List for Foreign Residency Seekers

The U.S. government has officially launched the waiting list for the Trump Gold Card, a new immigration-linked residency option requiring a nonrefundable $5 million payment per application.

The program is now accepting early expressions of interest through a live website, which collects detailed applicant information in preparation for full enrolment.

To join the list, applicants must complete a form including:

• Full name, region, and email address
• Whether applying individually or as a business
• Intended coverage (self, spouse, or family members)
• Group size if applying as a business (1–4, 5–9, or 10+ individuals)

Upon submission, users receive a verification code valid for ten minutes. Verified entries are then placed in a priority queue to be notified once access to the program officially opens.

The application form also includes a regional selector covering eight global zones: Europe, Asia (including the Middle East), North America, Oceania, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Africa.

The Trump Card website features a prominent image of a gold-colored ID card embossed with Donald Trump’s face, a visual marker of the branding strategy behind the program.
