Who we are
In the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, where the Equator meets West Africa, lies São Tomé & Príncipe — a peaceful, democratic island nation with a bold vision for sustainable growth and inclusive development. Rich in heritage and natural beauty, this twin-island republic is emerging as one of the world’s most secure and transparent destinations for citizenship by investment.
The São Tomé & Príncipe Citizenship by Investment Program (STP-CIP), established under Decree Law No. 07/2025, offers qualified investors and their families the opportunity to obtain full citizenship and a second passport by contributing to the nation’s National Transformation Fund (NTF). This Fund, under direct government supervision, finances projects in renewable energy, eco-tourism, education, health, and infrastructure, ensuring that each investor directly supports the long-term development of the country.
As an Authorized Marketing Agent, Advance Citizenship is accredited by the Government of São Tomé & Príncipe to promote, process, and manage citizenship applications in strict accordance with national law and international best practice.
