THE SHORT ANSWER

São Tomé starts lowest. “Cheapest” still depends on the applicant.

The published minimum is only the qualifying investment or contribution. Your final amount changes with family composition, due diligence, government charges, passports, professional fees and the chosen route.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Citizenship investment costs.

What is the cheapest citizenship by investment programme?+

Among the programmes currently presented by Baytii, São Tomé and Príncipe has the lowest displayed headline contribution from US$100,000. This is not the final application cost.

Is the minimum investment the total cost?+

No. Government processing, due diligence, interviews, passports, professional fees and dependant charges can materially increase the total.

Which programme is cheapest for a family?+

It depends on the number, ages and relationships of family members. A lower individual minimum can become more expensive after dependant-specific charges.

Can I calculate my exact cost online?+
