WASHINGTON, United States — President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation introducing significant changes to the visa system for foreign workers and investors.
Under the new rules, highly skilled foreign workers will be required to pay an annual visa fee of $100,000. Additionally, the administration unveiled a $1 million “gold card” visa, designed as a pathway to US citizenship for wealthy individuals.
These moves have sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing the administration of sidestepping established legal processes. The new policies are also expected to face near-certain legal challenges in the coming months.
