In today’s world of increasing regulatory scrutiny and global uncertainty, investors are looking for solutions that provide both security and flexibility. Combining São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship with a Greek Golden Visa offers a powerful dual advantage: a second passport granting international mobility, alongside official EU residency with visa-free access across the Schengen Zone.

Advantages:

  • The most affordable citizenship by investment and the most accessible Golden Visa in the EU.
  • The São Tomé passport offers visa-free access to over 60 countries, including key Asian destinations like Hong Kong and Singapore.
  • A Greek residence permit allows you to live in the EU and travel freely within the Schengen Area.
  • You can include your spouse, children, and parents in the Greek Golden Visa application without increasing the investment amount.
If you wish to obtain neutral São Tomé passports for the entire family, the program remains affordable — $95,000 for a family of up to four people. 
  • Most of the investment goes into your own property — starting from €250,000 in Athens, either by the sea or in the historic city center.
  • A single document package saves time and money, with the option to apply for a US visa directly from Greece.
  • The combination of a neutral passport and EU residency, with a verified address and rental income in EU countries, is a key factor for successful banking compliance.
  • You gain the right to open bank accounts, run a business in the EU, and access European infrastructure, from financial institutions to education and healthcare.
  • No residency requirements: you are not required to move or become a tax resident in Greece or São Tomé.
