Is it time to consider applying for PR?

In most cases, once you have been legally and ordinarily resident in the Cayman Islands for eight years, you may start the application process for permanent residency. Your application can be submitted anytime before the end of your ninth year. 


Even though you would only submit your application after your eighth year, becoming a permanent resident in the Cayman Islands is comprehensive, so it is advisable to consider the road ahead in advance. Consulting with one of our PR Immigration experts with ample time before your deadline will provide you with the knowledge and support you need in preparation for your application.
