Simplicity. Safety.<br />
Sophistication.<br />
That is the essence of what attracts people to live and work in tax-neutral Cayman Islands.<br />
Recognised as the friendliest country in the world,<br />
The Cayman Islands has earned this accolade<br />
as a reflection of its welcoming population long<br />
accustomed to the presence of international<br />
residents and visitors.<br />
A breezy island lifestyle, no direct taxes, a low<br />
crime rate and a high standard of living have<br />
all contributed to making this British Overseas<br />
Territory the jurisdiction of choice for globally<br />
mobile high-net-worth individuals.<br />
Located 475 miles southwest of Miami, this<br />
tropical archipelago is renowned for its modern<br />
infrastructure, luxury residential properties, rich<br />
marine environment and world-class culinary<br />
scene. From a modern airport, excellent schools,<br />
three hospitals and over 1,000 health care<br />
professionals, to quality telecommunications and<br />
utilities, it’s small wonder that new residents are<br />
often surprised by the livability of Grand Cayman<br />
given its Caribbean address.<br />
The impact of the global pandemic has prompted<br />
increasing interest in tax-neutral Cayman Islands<br />
as a safe place of refuge and a locale offering<br />
straightforward residency by investment through<br />
real estate programmes. Two options are available.<br />
25-year Residency Certificate<br />
This option entitles the holder to reside in Cayman for 25 years without the<br />
right to work.<br />
• Invest a minimum of US$1.2 million, of which at least half must be in<br />
developed residential real estate.<br />
• Demonstrate an annual income of US$145,000 or open a local bank<br />
account and maintain a minimum deposit of at least US$500,000.<br />
• Spend a minimum 30 days annually in the Cayman Islands.<br />
Certificate of Permanent Residence for Persons of<br />
Independent Means<br />
This provides a lifetime right to reside in Cayman, with the opportunity to work.<br />
• Invest a minimum of US$2.4 million in developed real estate in the<br />
Cayman Islands.<br />
• Demonstrate sufficient financial resources<br />
• Spend at least one day a year in the Cayman Islands.<br />
• This option offers a path to naturalisation as a British Overseas Territories<br />
Citizen (after a minimum five years) and then a British passport. In taking<br />
this up, there is no obligation to surrender any existing citizenships.
