The U.S. has introduced a high-value visa option, known as the Gold Card visa, which offers a pathway to citizenship for a significant financial investment. Recent reports indicate that this visa, priced at $5 million, has gained rapid traction. Officials claim that 1,000 Gold Card visas were sold in just one day.
According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, millions of people worldwide could afford this visa. In a recent podcast, he suggested that the program has the potential to reach at least one million sales, generating substantial revenue.
This initiative highlights the growing demand for investment-based residency programs. With an estimated market of 37 million potential buyers, experts believe it could significantly impact immigration trends.
