Orience’s Southern Africa team will host roadshows in Namibia and Zambia later this month to promote new international investment opportunities.
The firm, known globally for offering residency and citizenship through investment, will hold its Windhoek roadshows from 17 to 19 November and in Lusaka, Zambia, from 19 to 21 November.
Lisa Bathurst, Orience’s Southern Africa manager, said the sessions will help potential investors assess whether the Italian opportunity suits their financial and personal goals. “Potential investors must attend the roadshows to see whether the Italian opportunity would be a good fit for the investors and their families in terms of your financial and personal goals,” she said.
Orience announced that a new opportunity has opened for African investors in Venice, Italy. The investment involves real ownership in a boutique hotel in the city, which combines a solid property investment with the benefit of Italian residency.
Bathurst said, “We are delighted to offer this well-structured Italy Investor Visa that promises investors Italian residency, and eventually citizenship, with a €250,000 investment into a tokenised share of a boutique hotel in Venice. This isn’t a timeshare or faceless equity fund; it is real ownership in a hotel in one of the world’s most visited cities.”
She added that the investment offers both financial and personal benefits. “Consider this an opportunity to invest in a property you can actually stay in, in a city you’ll want to visit. And one that comes with EU residency for your entire family, 3–5% projected annual returns, a 5-year exit strategy, and a ten-year path to full Italian (and EU) citizenship,” Bathurst said.
Italian residency grants investors and their families freedom to travel within the 26 Schengen countries, access to education in EU schools and universities, and healthcare in one of the world’s best systems.
“At half the price of a Portuguese investment residency scheme, which due to recent policy shifts has changed the landscape, this Italian residency opportunity is a cost-effective option,” Bathurst said.
“The bricks-and-mortar boutique hotel is also just good business, as Venice is in huge demand as a tourist destination, and hence demand for hotel rooms consistently outpaces supply.”
