    What’s the point though, is my question, when the eb5 exists and you get to keep your money with it?

    I’m asking from the immigrant’s perspective.

    That was my question. There was already a process to get a permanent resident that also included creating jobs.

    The new gold car does not mean there will be any jobs created. No need to do so.

      Speed and predictability ... some people are willing to pay for those.

        Seems like a tiny market of people willing to give away $5m vs setting up even a crappy business with an administrator that would easily pass the $800k threshold.

        I’m not saying you’re wrong… but someone would have to be in a pretty hurried, specific position for that. Or $5m for them is absolute chump change.

          I would think the latter.

            Way easier and maybe in the long run cheaper than the 800k investment visa.

              I suppose I don't really care why they do it. $5B is $5B.

                But you can get a Nauru passport for only USD$100K!!! LOL

                In 2025, the island country of Nauru, located in the South Pacific between the Solomon Islands and Marshall Islands, launched its new passport scheme, allowing people to purchase citizenship through investment. It's the destination's way of raising as much cash as possible to move many of its 12,000 citizens to higher ground as the coastal areas of the eight-square-mile island are getting ravaged by erosion due to climate change. Additionally, large swaths that were once used to mine phosphate deposits (an ingredient in fertilizer) have both dried up and made some 80 percent of the land uninhabitable

                  I don’t know if there actually is that much demand for it. There is no gold visa that exists right now. Congress needs to pass it first. Lutnick just talking shit.

                    Is a new style of visa something that congress needs to pass?

                      Yes. It’s supposed to replace eb5. It needs to be done by Congress. Also it’s supposed to come out mid-March.

                        Wait - Lutnick says they already sold 1000. How’d they do that without the program existing?

                          Musk is familiar with that. He sold lots of full-self-driving vehicles before that existed.

                            Ah right. So the executive branch is now beta testing legislation before Congress releases it.
