Thread: Trump Announces 'Gold Card' Visa Program Costing $5 Million w/Path to Citizenship

Well, we may consider that citizenship IS for sale in many countries worldwide via expensive (and inexpensive) Visa programs.

I chose to get a "Residency Visa" in Peru because it was inexpensive.

When I applied for about $2K to hire a local attorney, you could fulfill your Visa Requirements by staying 1 day per year which would be do-able.

But, right after obtaining the Visa, Peru changed their Requirements to staying over 6 months per year -- making it impossible to keep if you wanted to work in the US. [This same scenario happened in Argentina.]

This Gold Visa Program is about attracting people who have (or have access to) enough cash to start businesses ($5 million + other Requirements). Of course, just like anything, it can be abused. They are capping the number of these Visas to 10K per year as well.

Will need to think about all the ramifications of this new Program
