“While it sounds good, I wonder how accessible this Golden Visa will be for all content creators. Will it favour established ones over newcomers? It’s important to support content creators, and a long-term visa can really help them thrive.”

List of visas to use and enter America legally

Earlier, TheTalk.NG reported that the administration of President Donald Trump of the Republic Party has stepped up the deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States of America (USA).

This has made life difficult for undocumented immigrants who are living in the US as they stand the risk of being deported.

It is therefore imperative that future immigrants to the USA should know what types of visas they can use to enter the US legally.
