President Trump's administration has launched a new, accelerated visa processing scheme for foreigners willing to pay a $1 million (€855,000) "contribution" for US residency, El.kz cites DW.
The "gold card" is being presented as an upgrade on the so-called Green Card, which grants immigrants permanent residency in the US.
"Basically, it's a Green Card, but much better. Much more powerful, a much stronger path," Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday.
"A path is a big deal. Have to be great people," the president said, who has sharply cut access to other ways of migrating to the US.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the gold card would provide a "direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people."
"Our Great American Companies can finally keep their invaluable Talent," Trump added.
On Wednesday, the trumpcard.gov website launched, allowing applicants to pay a $15,000 fee to the Department of Homeland Security for expedited processing.
"For a $15,000 DHS processing fee and, after background approval, a contribution of $1 million, receive US residency in record time with the Trump Gold Card," the website reads.
