Can I reside in the Cayman Islands?

The Cayman Islands offers several residency options:

• Residency Certificate for Persons of Independent means which can either last 25 years and which is renewable thereafter (‘term certificate’) or it can last a lifetime with the option to obtain the Right to be Caymanian (‘lifetime certificate’). The difference between the term and lifetime certificate is the financial contribution you are required to make.
• Residency Certificate if you have a substantial Business Presence.
• Certificate of Direct Investment

This factsheet is confined to the residency certificate for persons of independent means option.
