In an era where mobility, freedom, and financial flexibility have become pillars of modern success, one company stands at the intersection of opportunity and excellence: Orience. Founded in 2013 in Barcelona and now a trusted global name, Orience offers tailored solutions in investment migration, international real estate, and wealth planning—helping individuals, families, and investors unlock a world without borders.
As the newest esteemed member of The Luxury Network UAE, Orience brings with it a legacy of integrity, innovation, and deep market expertise. With a presence in 14 countries, multilingual teams, and a track record of serving discerning clients from every corner of the globe, the firm has distinguished itself as a leader in high-end mobility and advisory services.
At the helm of this forward-thinking enterprise is Oriol Molas, Founder and Managing Partner—an entrepreneur whose vision was to simplify the complex, humanize the process, and empower people with access to global opportunities. In this exclusive interview, Oriol shares the story behind Orience’s success, his perspective on the evolving investment landscape, and how his team continues to transform challenges into life-changing solutions.
Join us as we explore the driving forces behind Orience’s remarkable journey—and the man who made it all possible.
Orience has become a recognized global player in investment migration and international real estate. What inspired you to create Orience, and how has the company evolved to meet the growing demand for global mobility and wealth solutions?
When I founded Orience in 2013, what really struck me was how unnecessarily complicated the world of investment migration and international mobility was. There was a clear gap between what clients actually needed—clarity, trust, and tailored solutions—and what the industry was offering at the time, which often felt transactional and fragmented. My background as an economist taught me to look at opportunities through both a macro and a human lens, and I wanted to create a company that would empower people to access global opportunities in a way that felt transparent, personal, and achievable.
Since then, Orience has grown alongside our clients’ evolving needs. Initially, we focused heavily on the Spanish and European markets, but as our client base became more international, so did we. Today, we operate in 14 countries, but the core philosophy hasn’t changed: we simplify complexity, we adapt quickly, and we always design solutions around people—not products.
Orience operates across 14 countries and offers a full spectrum of services—from residency and citizenship programs to real estate and tax planning. How does your firm ensure a seamless and personalized experience for clients navigating such complex cross-border decisions?
Global mobility is not just about securing a passport or acquiring property abroad—it’s about life-changing decisions that have long-term financial, personal, and emotional implications. That’s why we’ve built Orience to be a partner, not just a service provider.
Each client works with a dedicated team that speaks their language—literally and culturally. Our teams are multidisciplinary, which means we’re combining immigration experts, tax advisors, real estate professionals, and wealth planners into one seamless experience. This is not a handoff from one department to another—it’s an integrated journey where everyone is aligned around the client’s unique goals. We also invest in technology that helps us streamline the process without losing the personal touch.
With a client base that includes high-net-worth individuals, families, and global investors, what are some of the key trends you’re seeing in investment migration and lifestyle planning, especially in the Middle East and GCC region?
One of the most noticeable shifts is that clients today are thinking beyond “a Plan B.” Mobility is no longer just about security or contingency—it’s about building optionality into their lives and creating pathways for family, education, business expansion, and legacy planning.
In the Middle East and GCC specifically, we’re seeing a strong interest in European residency programs—not just for access to the EU, but for lifestyle diversification, education, and long-term family positioning. There’s also a growing appetite for smart real estate investments that balance personal enjoyment with solid capital growth, especially in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece.
Another trend is the desire for more holistic planning. Clients in this region are looking to structure their wealth across jurisdictions with thoughtful tax planning and family governance. It’s no longer about isolated transactions; they want integrated strategies that stand the test of time.
Real estate plays a major role in your offering. Can you tell us more about Orience’s approach to international property investment, and how you help clients identify opportunities that align with both financial and lifestyle goals?
Real estate is often the gateway to mobility, but we see it as much more than that—it’s a way to invest in a life you actually want to live. Our role is to help clients make smart, well-informed decisions that align with both their portfolio strategy and their personal aspirations.
We don’t just send a list of properties. We get to know the client’s motivations—whether they’re looking for a vacation home, a long-term rental asset, a relocation base, or a legacy property for future generations.
We leverage our on-the-ground networks in each country to offer access to off-market opportunities, and we’re very transparent about the pros and cons of each investment. For us, it’s about balance: finding assets that offer strong financial fundamentals but also enhance the client’s lifestyle.
As the first Spanish firm to join the Investment Migration Council and with multilingual teams across Europe, how does Orience balance regulatory compliance, cultural understanding, and client privacy to maintain its trusted reputation worldwide?
Trust is built in the details. Being part of the Investment Migration Council was not only about prestige—it’s about being part of the conversation that shapes the future of this industry and holding ourselves to the highest standards of ethics and compliance.
At Orience, we have internal compliance protocols that are as stringent as those of much larger organizations. We respect cultural nuances because we know that what works in Spain might not resonate in the UAE or China, and we tailor our approach accordingly. And most importantly, we protect client confidentiality with no compromise.
Ultimately, clients choose us because they know we will be honest with them, even when the answer is not what they want to hear. That’s how we’ve built long-term relationships.
You’ve built a company that champions freedom, opportunity, and global thinking. On a personal level, what does this journey mean to you as a founder, and what values continue to drive your leadership and vision for Orience in the years ahead?
For me, this journey has always been about the human value. It’s about helping someone move their life forward—whether that means giving their children access to better education, creating a safe harbor for their family, or unlocking a new business frontier. Every decision we support has a real, human story behind it.
What keeps me grounded is curiosity and integrity. I’m always asking: how can we do this better? How can we make the process simpler, faster, more transparent? I also believe in surrounding myself with smart, driven people who genuinely care. Success is never a solo effort—it’s built with a great team.
Looking ahead, I want Orience to continue growing, but always with the same values: we are here to make the complex accessible, to empower our clients, and to keep the human element at the center of everything we do.
