Barbados Inheritance

A client is due to receive a significant inheritance from a deceased relative, resident of Barbados. There are foreign currency controls in place and the rule is for not more than $100,000 per annum to be released without application to the Central Bank. My understanding is that as the beneficiary is non-resident it is at their discretion whether to release funds above this sum. Does anyone have any practical experience of this situation, or knowledge of how likely they are to approve a sum of nearer $2m?

Many thanks
