- Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is developing digital infrastructure for a new 'Trump Card Visa' golden visa program.
- The program, proposed by Donald Trump, would allow wealthy individuals to buy residency in the U.S. for $5 million, but legal and legislative hurdles remain.
- DOGE is coordinating with multiple federal agencies, including CBP and USCIS, to integrate the visa program into existing immigration systems.
- A website, trumpcard.gov, has been registered, with subdomains linked to federal immigration systems, indicating advanced digital integration.
- The Global Entry application form now includes an option for applicants to indicate if they have applied for a Trump Card Visa.
- The program faces legal uncertainties, as current immigration laws, like the Immigration Act of 1990, may require Congressional approval for such changes.
- The existing EB-5 investor visa program, which requires a $1.05 million investment, is seen as a precursor but differs in scope and target demographic.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed 1,000 gold cards have already been sold, with a potential target of 1 million, but the program's launch timeline remains unclear.
