What is the Platinum Card Scheme?
A third option, the Platinum Card, was also proposed, in which a person could live in the US for 270 days a year for $5 million ($5 million) without paying US taxes on foreign income. It is not clear whether this scheme is still included or not. The website also states that having money alone is not a guarantee of entry into America. Applicants must be eligible for permanent residence, be eligible to enter legally and have a visa slot available. Under US immigration rules, Gold Card holders will fall into the EB-1 or EB-2 visa category. These visas are usually given to people with exceptional qualifications, such as top researchers, famous professors, major artists, or business leaders. These provide a path to permanent residence (green card) and later citizenship.
