WASHINGTON, United States — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation introducing significant changes to the visa system for foreign workers and wealthy individuals seeking U.S. citizenship.
Under the new rules, highly skilled foreign workers will be required to pay an annual visa fee of $100,000. This move aims to streamline the visa process and ensure that individuals contributing specialized skills to the U.S. economy are appropriately invested in the country.
In addition, the administration has launched a $1 million “gold card” visa program, providing a pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy individuals. This initiative is designed to attract substantial foreign investment and stimulate economic growth.
However, these measures have sparked widespread criticism, with many arguing that the administration is sidestepping established legal procedures. Experts anticipate near-certain legal challenges against the proclamation as stakeholders contest the new requirements.
