Abstract

Last month, President Trump announced his plan to sell US permanent residence and a path to citizenship with a $5 million “gold card”. Kristin Surak looks at Trump’s plan for US golden visas, writing that it is an outgrowth of the existing EB-5 program and far from the first or only “VIP access” program internationally. The popularity of Trump’s new scheme remains to be seen, she writes, with much hinging on whether the $5 million for the card is a government donation or an investment in the US.
