For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A business visitor is a person issued a business visitor's permit by the Director of the Workforce, Opportunities and Residency Cayman Office. A person carrying on business in or from within the Islands who regularly employs persons not legally and ordinarily resident in the Islands on a temporary basis may make a single application each year to the Director for one or more business visitors' permits, and a permit may not be issued for more than fourteen days on any one visit. The official source does not state whether a visa or electronic authorisation is also needed for any nationality.

  • The route-specific official capture set did not yield a verified answer for this question in the completed batch. This is an unresolved evidence gap, not a claim that the requirement or right does not exist.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

A person carrying on business in or from within the Islands who regularly employs persons not legally and ordinarily resident in the Islands on a temporary basis may make a single application each year to the Director for one or more business visitors' permits and for more than one visit, giving the information the Director requires for each person. The Director considers the relevant matters in section 58(2) to (4) and may impose conditions and limitations. A business visitors' permit shall not be issued for more than fourteen days on any one visit or for a person who is ineligible for a work permit under section 66(1). The annual fee for business visitors' permits is set under Schedule 1 of the Immigration Regulations (2019 Revision) and determined by the number of persons and visits. The official source does not state whether a business visitor's stay can be extended or changed.
