São Tomé & Príncipe has launched a citizenship by investment program designed to offer an accessible and efficient route to second citizenship. With a minimum contribution starting from USD 90,000, it stands out as one of the most affordable options in the global investment migration market.
The program is designed for individuals and families seeking simplicity, flexibility and international diversification. With no residency requirement, no interview and no language test, the process can be completed remotely through an authorized application route.
The program allows applicants to include a spouse, children under 18, dependent children up to age 30 and parents or grandparents over 55 if financially dependent on the main applicant.
The application can be completed entirely remotely, with no requirement to visit São Tomé & Príncipe during the citizenship process. This makes it convenient for international applicants.
Applicants are not currently required to complete an interview as part of the standard citizenship by investment application process, helping keep the program simple and efficient.
There is no residency or physical presence requirement before, during, or after approval, making the program highly flexible for globally mobile individuals and families.
São Tomé & Príncipe allows dual citizenship, enabling successful applicants to retain their existing nationality where permitted by their home country.
The São Tomé & Príncipe passport is valid for 7 years. While the passport must be renewed upon expiry, citizenship itself remains permanent once granted.
