What the advice costs
The programme costs the same. The advice does not.
Through a commission
$25,000–$45,000
Sales commission on Nauru. A young programme sold hard, and priced accordingly. Read the mobility section on this page before the price.
Through a fee
$2,500
Six months as a private client — route selection, the financing, the portfolio, and me on the end of a phone. Twelve months is $5,000. Paid by you, so the answer can be no.
Total saving
$25,000–$45,000
The whole commission, before the $2,500 fee. The programme costs what it costs either way.
This is the commission only. The licensed agent, the legal work and the government fees in the list above are payable whoever advises you, and nothing here removes them — a saving that quietly included a statutory fee would be the same trick in the other direction.
Commission ranges are typical rather than universal, and no firm is named. They are not published anywhere, which is the point of them.
