[ Why not an agency ]
We replace the agency, not the honesty.
Agencies in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya typically charge ₦300,000–₦800,000 to do what you can do yourself with the right information — because the eligibility criteria they're selling access to was never actually private.
[ Honesty, as a feature ]
We show you official public criteria and how to prepare. We cite our sources. We never guarantee outcomes.
The decision is always the destination country's — we help you put your strongest, truthful case forward, nothing more.
[ What this looks like ]
Honest guidance, not a sales pitch.
Illustrative examples — real stories coming soonSoftware engineer, Kenya
Assumed UK Skilled Worker was out of reach without a job offer yet — the check showed Global Talent as a stronger near-term fit given her open-source contributions, with the one gap (an endorsement letter) spelled out plainly.
Recent graduate, Nigeria
Didn't know the Netherlands Orientation Year existed. It matched her Dutch master's degree, with a lower funds threshold than she'd been told by an agency quoting her ₦450,000 for a 'guaranteed' visa.
Small business owner, Ghana
Was quoted for a 'guaranteed' investor visa by an agency. The honest check showed she was short on the investable-capital threshold for that route — and pointed to Canada's Start-up Visa as a closer fit instead.
