Are you considering a move to the Cayman Islands? This tropical paradise offers more than just stunning beaches, world-class diving and a vibrant community. For those looking to make the Cayman Islands their permanent home, there’s a pathway to citizenship through property investment. At Corcoran Cayman Islands, we’re here to guide you through every step of this exciting journey.
Why the Cayman Islands?
Before diving into the specifics of gaining citizenship, it’s important to understand why the Cayman Islands is an attractive destination for expatriates. With a high standard of living, good education and being a tax neutral jurisdiction, the Cayman Islands provide an exceptional quality of life. The islands are also politically stable, have a robust financial sector and are renowned for their safety.
Permanent Residency Through Investment
One of the most straightforward ways to gain permanent residency in the Cayman Islands is through substantial investment in local real estate. Here’s how it works:
- Invest in Real Estate: To qualify, you need to invest a minimum of CI$2,000,000 (approximately US$2,400,000) in developed real estate. This can be a single property or a portfolio of properties. Our current listings provide some excellent examples of eligible investments.
- Apply for Permanent Residency: After making your investment, you’ll need to apply for a Certificate of Permanent Residence for Persons of Independent Means. This certificate allows you to reside in the Cayman Islands permanently. The application process involves background checks and proving that you have sufficient financial resources.
- Reap the Benefits: Permanent residents can live and work in the Cayman Islands without restrictions. This status is renewable every 25 years.
Path to Citizenship
While the Cayman Islands does not have a direct citizenship-by-investment program, permanent residency can eventually lead to citizenship. After holding permanent residency for a specified period, typically around 10 years, you may become eligible to apply for naturalization as a British Overseas Territories Citizen. This status can then lead to full Caymanian citizenship.
