Had a positive experience for issuing an Antigua & Barbuda passport then in the process of renewal. Franchette was very helpful in insuring all my documents were sorted and all the forms are filled as expected.

How can I get São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship?
You can obtain São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship through its investment program. The process involves making a qualifying contribution, submitting the required documents, and completing due diligence checks. Once approved, the investment is completed, citizenship is granted, and your passport is issued.
Do I have to give up my current citizenship?
No. São Tomé & Príncipe allows dual nationality. You keep what you have and add this to your top. Nothing gets cancelled; nothing gets surrendered.
Do I need to go to São Tomé & Príncipe at any point?
Not once. The whole process runs remotely through your representative. No flights, no residency requirements, no showing up for interviews. That’s one of the things that makes this program genuinely practical for busy investors.
Who counts as dependent?
Spouse, children under 18 (dependents above 18 currently on hold), and parents over 55. If something changes after you get citizenship, you remarry, you have another child, you can add them later, though there’s an additional fee for that.
Does citizenship pass to my kids?
Yes, it’s hereditary. Children born after you’re naturalized are entitled to citizenship, too. Once you have it, your family has it.
How do I get citizenship through investment?
You contribute USD 95,000 to the government’s National Transformation Fund, go through a background check, and submit your paperwork through a licensed advisor. There’s no interview, no visit required, nothing complicated. Once everything clears, citizenship is granted. Most applicants are done within 90 days.
Is the contribution refundable?
No. It’s a donation to the National Transformation Fund, not an investment you get back. That’s how donation-based citizenship programs work across the board. The upside is that the cost is lower than almost any other program out there.
Is the program actually government-backed?
Yes. Decree-Law No. 07/2025 is the legal foundation; it’s published, it’s real, and the program runs through official government channels. It’s not a grey area scheme. That said, who you work with to navigate it still matters a great deal.
