I mainly went for it because of my business trips, as I’m constantly going to Singapore and Hong Kong, and dealing with visas all the time was a real headache. I needed something that would make traveling easier and way less stressful. And a São Tomé and Príncipe passport was just the ticket! 

The process? Honestly, super smooth. Immigrant Invest took care of everything, explained all the steps in plain language, and kept me updated the whole way. I barely had to worry about anything, they handled all the tricky stuff.

I wanted a backup option, another place I could officially call home if life takes a turn. So, I’ve been thinking about getting a second passport. But I didn’t want to spend a six-figure sum. That’s why I chose the São Tomé and Príncipe citizenship by investment program as the most affordable.

And as a nice bonus — the processing time was really fast, which was a lifesaver for me. Because I had a series of meetings and negotiations abroad and constantly dealing with visa applications was slowing me down and messing with my schedule. But the new passport has made my business trip to Africa and Asia easier.

My husband and I spend most of our time traveling across Africa, filming stories that celebrate the incredible people, landscapes, and cultures we encounter. It’s more than just a job — it’s our passion, our life project, and honestly, it’s what makes us feel alive. But at the start, traveling was so stressful. Every trip meant endless visa applications, long embassy lines, and uncertain processing times. There were times we missed opportunities or had to delay shoots just because of paperwork. It was frustrating and exhausting.

When we finally got our passports, it was such a relief and a joy. Traveling across Africa suddenly became freer, smoother, and more flexible. We could focus on filming and connecting with the people whose stories we wanted to tell, instead of constantly worrying about visas and paperwork. It also gave us peace of mind, knowing we now have a second citizenship — another “home base” if we ever need it, and a sense of security we didn’t have before.
