It is important to be aware that your spouse or children are not automatically entitled to reside in Cayman even if you hold a valid permit. They must be a named dependant on the permit and a separate application must be filed if they were not added at the time of original submission.
All accompanying dependants must submit an original medical cover letter if over 18 years of age and, for a spouse, a certified copy of your marriage certificate civil partnership certificate, any final divorce decree (if applicable), and a police clearance certificate.
If the dependant is a child, a certified birth certificate naming you as a parent is required. If your child is of compulsory school age, you have a duty to secure attendance at school in accordance with the law. Where appropriate, arrangements for homeschooling can be made.
WORC will consider, along with other factors, your ability to financially support your dependants. Dependants can be added to a temporary or full work permit grant. Minimum monthly income expectations to be permitted to have dependents on a work permit are CI$5,000 (with respect to the first dependent) with that sum increasing by CI$1,000 for each additional dependant thereafter.
Fees are payable annually to the Cayman islands Government in connection with dependants. See the Immigration section for more information.
