All immigration permit forms and instructions can be downloaded from the Department of WORC’s website. Various law firms and immigration service providers are also available to assist.
All immigration permit forms and instructions can be downloaded from WORC’s website (see above). Note: An original Police Clearance Certificate (and a certified translation if not in English) is required. Translations are generally required to be provided through an approved local translator. Make a copy of all the paperwork submitted and keep it on file for the rare occasion that the paperwork is lost by the Dept. of WORC.
Police Clearance Certificates (for those already resident in Cayman for six months)
These forms must now be requested online: 1) Visit RCIPS and click on the ‘Application for a Police Clearance Certificate’ tab. 2) Fill in the form. 3) Upload the picture page of your passport and a current work permit stamp for work permit holders. 4) Request for the police clearance to be emailed or mailed to you. The former takes two days and the latter about four weeks. 5) Pay CI$25 per police clearance.
Medical Declaration Letter
All work permits over three months in duration, including Work Permit Renewals, Permanent Residency and Caymanian Status applications, must be accompanied by a completed medical letter. Spouses and children over the age of 18 must also submit a medical letter. Among other things, the medical exam requires you to blood test for TB, HIV and VDRL, and you need a chest x-ray. Medical letters are required every 12 months. See www.worc.ky for more info.
Other than the Work Permit fees, the costs associated with gathering the supporting information and documents required for an application include: CI$25 for a police clearance, CI$40 for a lab report of blood work, CI$80 to see a doctor for a full medical and CI$15 for photos. Please note that an original Police Clearance Certificate (and a certified translation if not in English) is required and at present there is a general expectation of there being a raised seal on such documents. Translations are generally required to be provided through an approved translator. Please be sure to make a copy of all the paperwork submitted and keep it on file for the rare occasion that the paperwork is lost by the Department of WORC.
