NTL Trust comments how will Gold Card affect investment migration
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 28, 2025 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- The U.S. government has announced plans to replace the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program with a new “Gold Card”, a proposed $5 million investment-based
residency option that may also provide a pathway to citizenship. While full details are expected in the coming weeks, this announcement marks a significant development in the global investment migration landscape.
Nicholas Stevens, CEO of
NTL Trust, notes that while the Gold Card is still without legal and regulatory framework, it may introduce a new avenue for investor residency.
"The Gold Card, if implemented, would introduce a new model for economic migration in the U.S. However, it seems to differ from traditional residency and
citizenship-by-investment (CBI) programs in structure, regulation, and legal framework." says Stevens.
As discussions unfold, industry professionals are evaluating the following aspects:
Legislative Process: Will the program require congressional approval, and how might that impact implementation timelines?
Investment Threshold: With a proposed price of $5 million—significantly higher than the EB-5’s previous $1 million threshold—how will demand be affected?
Eligibility & Oversight: What due diligence measures will be in place? Will the program have an annual cap on approvals?
While the full framework is yet to be confirmed, this initiative signals a potential shift in U.S. immigration policy toward a more streamlined investment-based model. The global investment migration industry will be closely monitoring developments as further details emerge
