Entry and work rules for visitors
Passport and onward ticket
Visitors need a passport valid beyond the date of their return ticket and a paid return or onward ticket. They may need to show proof of funds. Visitors may land for up to six months. Check the rules for your passport.
Seeking work as a visitor
Customs and Border Control says there is no prohibition against seeking employment while visiting as a tourist. The Department of Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman (WORC) may refuse a work permit for a person who is on the islands as a tourist visitor. Check the rules for your passport.
Leave first
No application for a Temporary Work Permit is considered for a person who entered as a visitor unless the visitor has left and stayed off the islands. The Director of WORC may make exceptions in special circumstances. Check the rules for your passport.
