About US Golden Visa Program
Get a Green Card Through Investment
The EB-5 program provides a pathway to permanent US residency by making an investment of $800,000 or more in a qualifying business project.
Through this investment, both the investor and their immediate family members can obtain a Green Card, granting them permanent resident status in the United States. This status allows holders to live, work, and study freely in any state across the country.
Unlike other visa options, the EB-5 program does not require employer sponsorship or involvement. This independence gives investors more flexibility and control over their residency status while opening opportunities for their family’s future in the US.

Investment Options for US Golden Visa
The main EB-5 visa applicant must invest at least $800,000 in a US business that creates a minimum of 10 full-time jobs for American workers. Most investors choose to invest through a government-approved Regional Centre, which simplifies the process by managing the business operations and ensuring all immigration and job creation requirements are met, so the investor does not need to be directly involved in day-to-day management.
