No. Private employment obligations and government charges are different. Obtain appropriate advice on the actual agreement rather than assuming immigration approval validates its terms. The September 7, 2026 official processing fee is US$15,000 per person and nonrefundable; the principal gift is US$1,000,000 individually or US$2,000,000 per corporate-sponsored employee principal. Family and continuing corporate obligations are additional.
Keep the payment purposes distinct
The government processing fee is nonrefundable and the gift is not an investment return. An employer’s contract does not change those official characteristics.
On the published terms that means three processing fees of fifteen thousand United States dollars each, forty-five thousand in total and none of it refundable, followed after vetting by three gifts of one million each, three million in total. Budget separately for professional, tax, medical and other official charges, and do not treat gifted money and invested capital as equivalent merely because their headline amounts can be compared. Confirm the current terms directly from the official FAQ, since informally repeated figures may be outdated or incomplete, and eligibility, admissibility, and visa availability remain conditions regardless of the figure quoted. Keep the application and fee confirmations, the instructions received, everything submitted through the official portal, records of the gift when instructed, and any correspondence about maintenance or transfer, together with the internal approval that authorised the spending.
