Президент США Дональд Трамп объявил о запуске новой иммиграционной программы, позволяющей получить «золотую карту» (по аналогии с анг. green card – «зеленая карта» или «грин-карта») в обмен на инвестиции в размере USD 5 млн. «Золотая карта» предоставит обеспеченным инвесторам право жить и работать в США, а также получить гражданство.
Цитируем слова Президента США:
"We're going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you Green Card privileges plus it's going to be a route to citizenship. Wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card. 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.
Generally speaking, it will be people with money and people that create jobs. They won't have to pay any tax on income outside of the United States… but they'll have to pay if they create jobs in the United States," he said.
"People of wealth or people of great talent … will pay for people to get in and to have long-term status in the country."
Как заявил Министр торговли США Говард Лютник, что золотая карта заменит собой правительственную программу по выдаче иммиграционных виз EB-5.
