President Donald Trump has unveiled his $5 million 'gold card' visa, featuring his own likeness.
"For $5 million, this could be yours," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. "You know what that card is? It's the Gold Card, the Trump Card," Trump said Thursday.
Trump's proposed "gold card" program would offer U.S. residency to individuals who invest $5 million in the country.
This announcement comes as part of a broader effort by the former president to restrict other immigration options for those unable to afford high costs. In the past, Trump has expressed support for work-based visas, particularly the H-1B visa.
Unlike American citizens, Gold Card holders are exempt from paying U.S. taxes on their overseas income.
