In light of President Donald Trump’s recent announcement on February 25, 2025, regarding significant changes to the U.S. investment immigration landscape, it’s imperative for prospective investors to act immediately. The current EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which has been a gateway for foreign investors to obtain U.S. permanent residency through investments of $1.05 million (or $800,000 in targeted employment areas), is slated for termination. In its place, the administration proposes a new “Trump Gold Card” visa, requiring a substantial $5 million contribution.

 

This proposed shift not only increases the financial threshold but also alters the framework for investment-based immigration. The EB-5 program has been instrumental in stimulating the U.S. economy by creating jobs and fostering capital investment. With the impending changes, the window to apply under the existing EB-5 terms is rapidly closing.

 

For those considering U.S. residency through investment, immediate action is crucial. Submitting your EB-5 application now could secure your place under the current program’s favourable terms before the more stringent requirements take effect.
