Not necessarily. Reuse of the prior gift for another employee is contemplated, subject to new vetting and the transfer requirements in force. Where the mechanism is used, a 5% charge is described, alongside a 1% annual maintenance figure; neither is an ordinary initial fee. Processing fees of US$15,000 per person still apply.
Modelling the second sponsorship on paper first
Keep a new-sponsorship illustration separate from the transfer invoice. A fresh corporate principal with one eligible spouse and child has combined published fees and gifts of US$4.045 million, before other costs; a reuse transaction needs its own calculation of prior credited amounts and instructed charges. Check the current annual maintenance and transfer terms instead of treating that illustration as the amount now payable.
A distribution planned to the programme figure alone can fall short once tax on the distribution and the additional government and professional costs are counted. Preserve actual programme records and do not imply that a private reimbursement changes the government’s nonrefundable processing charge. Confirm the recipient of a payment directly from the official source, not from a forwarded message, and keep a record that distinguishes any processing charge from other payments. Identity and background records may be requested during vetting and visa processing, and the official FAQ expressly refers to a required medical examination.
