Trump Unveils ‘Trump Card’ Visa Promising Citizenship Route and Revenue Boost

President Donald Trump has announced a controversial new immigration initiative dubbed the “Trump Card” visa, which he claims will offer wealthy foreigners a fast-track to U.S. citizenship while also helping reduce the national deficit.

In a social media post, Trump wrote:

“Thousands have been calling and asking how they can sign up to ride a beautiful road in gaining access to the greatest country and market anywhere in the world.”

Trump first unveiled the golden prototype visa — engraved with his face — aboard Air Force One in April, declaring that the high-priced permit would likely be available “in less than two weeks.” While the visa itself is not yet available, a newly launched website is now accepting names, visa type preferences, and email addresses under the bold banner:
“The Trump Card is Coming.”

The former president has described the initiative as a premium version of the green card, aimed at attracting “job creators” and foreign investors. He previously stated the U.S. government could sell “maybe a million” of these visas, generating substantial revenue to tackle the national deficit.

Critics, however, have pointed to the timing and messaging behind the rollout, noting that it comes amid a sweeping wave of deportation raids and legal battles surrounding the administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants. Civil rights groups have condemned the proposal, calling it a “two-tier immigration system” that prioritizes wealth over humanitarian need.

Trump has not ruled out controversial beneficiaries, telling reporters in February that even Russian oligarchs could be eligible if they meet financial requirements.

Meanwhile, protests have erupted nationwide over recent immigration enforcement tactics, with opponents accusing Trump’s administration of human rights violations and unlawful use of federal troops in sanctuary cities.

Despite legal pushback and ongoing scrutiny, the Trump Card initiative has drawn substantial interest from would-be applicants across the globe — especially those seeking U.S. citizenship through investment.
