Project expenditure and the investor’s contribution are different facts that must be reconciled through the actual records.
Trace the investor’s own funds
Identify the applicable capital level, lawful source, transfer path and investment risk. Administrative or professional charges should not be assumed to count as capital simply because they appear in the project budget. As checked September 7, 2026, capital generally is US$1,050,000, or US$800,000 for a qualifying targeted employment area or infrastructure case. Statutory adjustments begin January 1, 2027; confirm the filing-date amount.
Legal fees on this route are higher than on temporary categories because the source and path of funds file is genuinely large, and where the money comes through a succession there is often accounting work to reconstruct valuations and tax treatment. Identify any duplicate entry, currency conversion or expense included inside another package, preserving the original records rather than adjusting figures to reach a desired result. Financial diligence on the project, an independent review of the offering documents and cross-border tax advice are separate and should be obtained before the wire, since the immigration approval offers no protection for the capital itself.
