President Donald Trump announced a new website for the $5 million U.S. permanent resident visa on June 11, and a waiting list for the golden visa has been opened at Trump card.gov.

“Thousands of people have been asking and asking how they can apply to visit the greatest country and the largest market in the world in a beautiful way,” Trump said in a social media post.

Trump announced the visa aboard Air Force One in April, when he held up a gold pilot visa card with his face on it, saying it could be approved in less than two weeks.

The visas are not yet available, but interested parties can submit their names, the type of visa they are interested in and their email addresses under the heading “Trump Card is Coming,” the website said in a statement.

Trump has previously said the new visa, a more expensive version of the traditional green card, would create jobs and help reduce the U.S. national deficit.

The announcement comes as deportation raids have intensified across the country. The raids have sparked protests. The Trump administration is facing lawsuits and allegations of human rights abuses related to the government’s immigration crackdown.

Trump said in February that the new visa would pave the way for a high-value path to U.S. citizenship. Trump said his administration expects to sell millions of the cards, and did not rule out the possibility that wealthy Russians could also qualify.
