Apply for Global Citizen Concierge Program

In October of 2020, the Cayman Islands announced the introduction of the Global Citizen Concierge Program which allows qualified applicants to stay in the Cayman Islands for up to 2 years. Restrictions on inbound international travel are still in place. See COVID-19 Inbound Travel & Tourism for current details.

Having reduced the threat of COVID-19 to near zero, the Cayman Islands offers the perfect oasis for persons with a remote working lifestyle to experience the Caymankind way of life," said Hon. Deputy Premier and Minister of Tourism, Moses I. Kirkconnell, JP, MLA.
