India, Dec. 20 -- President Donald Trump has announced that the new "Trump Gold Card" visa programme has generated about $1.3 billion in sales just days after its official launch.

The initiative, officially launched in early December 2025, allows wealthy foreign nationals to obtain expedited U.S. residency in exchange for a large financial contribution and processing fees.

Applicants must first pay a non-refundable $15,000 processing fee to the Department of Homeland Security, go through security vetting, and then make a $1 million contribution as a "gift" on the portal.
