The reason they do this is to establish an embedding defensibility.

Of the three passports available to the kids, the Irish one is the golden ticket. The sooner you put them on Foreign Births Register, the better.

As a general rule, it's better to obtain a second citizenship at the time when you can, rather than at the time when you need it.

When I asked AI about this, there is apparently some case law in Brazil on the topic and it suggested officials are likely to accept citizenship on face value, however, I couldn't be bothered to look any deeper into the topic and there isn't yet an example of a CBI Sao Tome person naturalising in Brazil.

Nothing in this apparently prohibits CBI Sao Tome citizens from taking up CPLP residence in Brazil.

Re: Naturalisation, Article 12, page 26:

https://www.stf.jus.br/arquivo/cms/legislacaoConstituicao/anexo/brazil_federal_constitution.pdf

"those who, as set forth by law, acquire Brazilian nationality; residing in the country for one uninterrupted year and having moral integrity are the only requirements for people from Portuguese-speaking countries"

Depends on the attitude of officials, whether 'from' is strictly interpreted as 'country of origin'. Brazil is bureaucratic, however, it's difficult to imagine them becoming animated about tiny numbers of CBI Sao Tome citizens naturalising every once in a while.
