Cayman Islands · Global Citizen Certificate · Remote worker permit · apply online · processing 10–21 days
Global Citizen Certificate under the Immigration (Transition) (Global Citizen Exemption) Regulations (2023 Revision). New applications closed on 31 October 2022. The regulations expired on 30 November 2024 unless Cabinet set a later date; no later date has been published, and the tourism and WORC programme pages are gone. One certificate only, for up to 24 months, with at least 90 days of physical presence in each year. Annual income, in US dollars, is 100,000 for the applicant, 150,000 with one dependant, 168,000 with two, then 18,000 more through five dependants. The 2020 family figure of 180,000 was replaced by that ladder on 2 November 2021. Regulation 5 states an annual fee of $1,230 for the applicant and one dependant and $420 for each further dependant; the programme's published price was US$1,469 and US$500. The holder may not provide goods or services to anyone in the Islands. A dependant who wants to work remotely files a separate certificate. Days count as legal and ordinary residence, but the certificate is not a residence or citizenship path. The Cayman Islands do not charge income tax.

family income in the public note corrected from a flat USD 180,000 to the 2021 ladder; the individual USD 100,000 threshold is unchanged (legislation.gov.ky).
