Can I work in the Cayman Islands?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: The route is the local-first test: a 21-day advert, then an employer-sponsored permit. No passport has its own rule.
Before you apply: Usually no licence. Some employers ask for vendor certificates (AWS, Microsoft, Cisco); signing audit reports needs a registered auditor.
Watch for: Your first permit ties you to the employer for at least 2 years; leaving early can mean a year outside Cayman.
