The Citizenship by Investment Program

The Citizenship by Investment Program of São Tomé and Príncipe offers foreign investors the opportunity to obtain second citizenship and a passport through a government-approved contribution to the National Transformation Fund. The process is fully remote, requires no residency or travel, and is typically completed within approximately 6–8 weeks.

Key Benefits:

Affordable entry threshold (starting from around $90,000 for a single applicant)

Fast processing time compared to many other CBI programs

No residency or physical presence requirements

Family inclusion (spouse, dependent children, and qualifying parents)

Dual citizenship allowed

Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 60+ destinations

The program is positioned as a relatively fast and cost-effective route to acquiring a second passport for global mobility and diversification.
