Saw the Sao Tome citizenship option through Astons and it looks like one of the lowest-cost entry points into investment migration right now, starting around $90K. Compared to Caribbean programs, the barrier to entry is much lower, which makes it interesting for those who just want a second passport as a backup rather than a premium travel document.
At the same time, it’s still a newer program, so questions about stability, long-term value, and global acceptance naturally come up. Astons handles the process end-to-end, but the key decision here is whether it’s worth getting in early at a lower cost or sticking with more established options.
[hr][/hr]Questions:

  • Would you consider Sao Tome citizenship as a backup option?
  • Is it better to enter early into new programs or wait until they’re proven?
  • How important is passport strength vs price for you?
  • Anyone comparing this with Caribbean programs right now?
