U.S. visitors are already being asked if they have applied for a ‘Trump Card Visa’ on immigration forms

Visa would allow wealthy people to buy residency in U.S., but how it would work remains unclear

U.S. permanent residents and foreign visitors to the U.S. are already being asked if they have applied for a “Trump Card Visa” on immigration forms, according to Wired.

This comes as Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has begun implementing digital infrastructure for the new $5 million golden visa immigration program after President Donald Trump initially floated the idea in February.

The visa would allow wealthy people to buy residency in the U.S., but how it would work remains unclear, as federal legislation outlines how many permanent residency cards can be issued annually and who can receive them.

David Bier, writing for the libertarian think tank the Cato Institute in February, noted that Trump “cannot lawfully sell green cards in excess of Congress’s caps” and that “People will be paying for something Trump cannot provide.”

Maybe they are asking everyone because no one has purchased one yet.
