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.
