São Tomé and Príncipe exempts citizens of the EU, the US, Canada and the member countries of the Portuguese-speaking CPLP from visas under Law 5/2015, and the UK and US governments say their citizens can visit without a visa for up to 15 days, Canada's for stays of less than 15 days. The law also exempts nationals of countries covered by visa-abolition or free-movement agreements, and for up to fifteen days nationals of third countries set by Government decree; no official source we could read lists those countries. Otherwise, Law 5/2008 requires foreigners to hold a valid entry visa to enter. The Migration and Border Service says someone living abroad where there is no São Toméan consulate cannot get a visa on arrival at the border and needs an entry authorisation (AE), requested through its eVisaST portal and presented on arrival.
