Second Passport · São Tomé & PríncipeThe fastest, most affordable second passport.
A second citizenship for your family in around 2–3 months, from about $90,000 — done entirely remotely, open to almost every nationality. Your donation is only made once you’re approved.
A stepping stone toward Europe
São Tomé is part of the Community of Portuguese-Language Countries (CPLP). That gives its citizens simplified access to Portuguese residence and a faster route to Portuguese naturalisation — seven years instead of ten. It’s a longer-term path, decided by Portugal, but a real strategic advantage of this passport.
São Tomé citizenship suits you if you…
One simple route
National Transformation Fund donation
A non-refundable contribution from about $90,000 for a single applicant, around $95,000 for a family of up to four, plus government and document fees.
It’s the simplest, lowest-entry citizenship investment available today.

Honest things to know
A new program
Launched in 2025; fast and affordable, but younger than the long-established Caribbean routes.
Travel access is regional
Strong for African and some Asian destinations, but the passport is not visa-free to Europe, the UK, or the US. Its strengths are speed, cost, family, and the Portugal pathway.
A real, non-refundable donation
And your contribution is made only after you’re approved in principle.
Renew every 7 years
The passport is renewable; your citizenship is permanent.
One eligibility note
Applicants holding several other passports may currently face limits; we’ll confirm your case.
Approved before you donate. Your contribution is made only after you pass due diligence and are approved in principle — so it isn’t at risk during the decision.
