A good fit if

You can file before the "Iruwa Initiative" promotion ends (31 December 2026) to catch the $90,000 price.
A 3–4 month timeline for a complete document package suits you.
Your source of funds is easy to document — due diligence is overseen by independent government bodies.
A second passport with visa-free access to 89 countries and no stay requirement is your priority.

A poor fit if

Your application will not clear before the promotion ends — after 31 December 2026 the price rises to $115,000.
Your family includes many dependants and relatives — sibling surcharges ($15,000 each) can raise the total noticeably.
Your source of funds is hard to document.
You need the broadest possible visa-free access — 89 countries is fewer than top Caribbean programmes.
