Trump Says Will Sell 'Gold' Residency Permits For $5 Million

I think there are enough existing routes already. Also, I think non -immigrant visa are much more appealing as they won't give you tax troubles unless you pass the substantial presence test.

I don't get it... for 5M one can become the tax-slave with no chance to escape for the rest of his life? in exchange for what?
if somebody wants to live in the US then there must be plenty of solutions for a fraction of the price
or did I misread anything?
 

Trump said in the presser that there wont be any tax on income outside of the United States (normal rules apply for US sourced income).
That's different from the regular green card afaik?

He also said they might sell a million cards but I don't think there are that many people that are outside the US, have the money and find it worth it.
 

Wealthy successful foreigners want a green card so they can no longer easily bank anywhere outside US, so they also pay US high taxes and high inheritance tax, so they can live in a divided society with high gun crime, a society with 1 in 5 adults with mental illness, live in a criminal nation with worlds biggest prison population, live with on average at least one mass shooting a day, live with poor food quality, high obesity levels, poor environmental standards and a nation in absolute and relative decline by Trumps own admission!!! And these wealthy foreigners will pay $5m each for the privilege to live on that sacred soil? God bless America.

Trump is desperate and delusional. The U.S is literally turning into a banana republic selling routes to citizenship like a Caribbean nation. See it with your own eyes .

---- quote start

"“Wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card,” he continued. “They'll be wealthy and they'll be successful and they'll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people. And we think it's going to be extremely successful and never been done before.”

--- quote end
 
There aren't so many UHNWI (most of them are already in the USA) but a lot wealthy Chinese, Indians and Russians will be happy to partecipate i think.

lol...Trump Golden Visa will replace EB5 they say. Also you will not pay taxes on foreign income

Ok I change my mind on this visa...lol
 
If he wants to implement a non-dom style regime then it could be interesting for UHNWI foreigners (from third world countries) but $5m is way too much.

He does it seems from video. Its a non-dom scheme. I take everything back I said. He is gonna sweep up a lot of UHNW's globally with the non-dom part.

It could succeed if foreign income is tax exempt for an indefinite period after paying that gold card.

One big problem is that it would only apply at the federal level. (Blue) States with income tax are very unlikely to exempt it as well.

So @JohnnyDoe, would you move to Florida or Texas if most of your passive income is foreign-sourced?
