United States: Gold Card

The U.S. administration has proposed a “gold card” visa program aimed at attracting wealthy immigrants by offering a path to citizenship in exchange for a $5 million investment. This initiative could potentially impact the housing market by increasing demand and driving up property prices, particularly in urban areas. Similar programs in countries like Portugal, Spain, and Greece have led to higher property prices and reduced affordability for locals. Analysts caution that such a program must be carefully structured to avoid adverse effects on the housing market – marketwatch.com
