OK, so how do you get a Sao Tome and Principe Business visa? There are two main ways to get a Business Visa for Sao Tome and Principe:
- Contact a travel agent to do everything for you
- Apply through your local consulate/embassy.
I recommend that you do everything through a reputable Sao Tome and Principe travel agent as you can do everything online and don’t have to go through the hassle of gathering a bunch of documents to send off to the local embassy or consulate. You will have to pay a service fee to them plus the cost of the visa, but you will save time this way.
Contact one of the travel agents at the bottom of this page here and tell them that you would like a visa. They will likely ask you to e-mail a copy of the first two pages of your passport. They will then e-mail or fax to you a formal permission from the Ministry to enter Sao Tome and Principe without a visa. You need to bring this formal permission with you and show it at the airport on arrival.
You can also apply through your local consulate or embassy. The form, if you are applying in the United States at the Embassy of Sao Tome and Principe, is here.
