Use the official amount for the actual arrangement and separate family and continuing corporate obligations. 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. Family and continuing corporate obligations are additional.
Check what the commitment covers
A private budget does not change the applicable framework. Identify who pays each obligation and whether internal terms address the full intended group.
As a gift plus a processing fee rather than as an investment, in the amounts stated on the official programme site, with the treatment of funds on refusal or withdrawal established from official material before payment. If an employer is sponsoring instead, corporate terms differ and have their own maintenance and transfer charges that a qualified adviser should review against current published terms. Because the amounts are large and the framework is new, the figures quoted here should be checked against the current official page before any transfer, and any request for a deposit, reservation or instalment should be verified against that page first.
