This sounds very strange to me. I know you want this fellow to come for a visit, but this is a pretty strange story, and an extraordinary amount of money.
I think you need to tell him you can't afford it, that you can only afford what was originally budgeted, so I'm really sorry but maybe we can't bring for a visit.
I would bet that if he sees his holiday disappearing all together that he will suddenly 'find' his KTP and work out how to get his passport for the going rate.
