AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Citizenship-by-Investment: São Tomé and Príncipe is selling “golden passports” for $90,000 (plus fees) to fund energy and development, as the EU tightens scrutiny on similar schemes elsewhere. UNESCO Heritage: The World Heritage Committee added the Roças of São Tomé and Príncipe to the UNESCO list, highlighting the islands’ colonial plantation history and the role of forced labor in shaping the landscape. Visa Access Pressure: The U.S. made its refundable visa bond programme permanent, effective 3 August 2026, allowing consular officers to require deposits up to $20,000 for B1/B2 visas for nationals including São Tomé and Príncipe. Diplomacy: Serbia’s foreign minister Marko Đurić met São Tomé and Príncipe’s PM Américo Ramos in Belgrade, discussing deeper cooperation in education, health, agriculture, digitalization and culture, and Serbia thanked São Tomé and Príncipe for backing Expo 2027.
