Frequently asked questions

  • What is OTISVIP?

    OTISVIP is a private members’ club for Africa’s modern professionals, founders, and creatives across the globe. Designed for those who value access, influence, and a refined way of living, OTISVIP offers curated spaces for meaningful connection, tailored opportunities, and quietly powerful experiences.

    What is the Circle of Otis?

    The Circle of Otis is the private core of OTISVIP — a curated constellation of Africa’s most discerning professionals, founders, and creatives. Members gather in select cities for intimate, OTIS-designed experiences where nothing is accidental, and every conversation carries weight.

    Where is OTISVIP currently active?

    OTISVIP is currently launching in Lagos, with other Tier 1 cities to follow. Applications are open for future Circles in Accra, Cape Town, Nairobi, Johannesburg, London, Paris, and New York.

  • How does membership work?

    Members pay an annual membership fee, which grants them curated invitations and access to the OTISVIP member platform. Membership is tiered — designed to match how, and where, you move.

    Can I bring a guest to Circle occasions?

    Only members of the Global Circle membership may request to bring a guest — subject to approval and availability.

    Can I take photos at Circle occasions?
    Discreet photography is welcome, provided it honours the privacy of other members and doesn’t disrupt the rhythm of the evening. We trust our members to embody the Spirit of Otis — where presence comes first, and elegance never asks for attention.

    How selective is membership?

    Every application is reviewed individually. We look for energy, discernment, and alignment with the OTISVIP ethos. This is not a club for everyone — and that’s precisely the point.

    I don’t live in Lagos. Should I still apply?

    Yes. If your city is on our Circle roadmap, or you move frequently between cities, we encourage you to apply.

    How do I apply?

    Submit an application. If your profile aligns with the Circle, we’ll be in touch with an invitation to activate your membership.

  • What types of partnerships does OTISVIP offer?

    OTISVIP partners with luxury brands, premium service providers, and cultural institutions that reflect our values and aesthetic. Collaborations are carefully curated to offer members access to elevated experiences, thoughtful privileges, and moments that match their standard — not just their status. Alignment is everything.
