Programme closed (was USD 100,000/year).
How this figure is set: No income test at all. Formula: Programme closed; historical threshold USD 100,000/yr (single) is from secondary memory only.
Income confidence: medium · checked 2026-09-07
Legal basis: Immigration (Transition) (Global Citizen Concierge) Regulations 2020 (not fetched).
Does this lead to permanent residence?
No pathway. Closed 30 Nov 2023 (site says Oct); never counted toward 8-yr PR route.
The Immigration (Transition) (Global Citizen Exemption) Regulations 2020 created the programme, which lapsed 30 Nov 2023 per consistent law-firm reporting (Maples, Bedell Cristin) after a prior extension; my.egov.ky/WORC no longer lists it, consistent with closure. Cayman's points-based PR-with-right-to-work route requires 8 continuous years on a work permit (rising to 9 years for new permit-holders under 2025-2026 legislation, per HSM Immigration). No primary regulation text or WORC statement explicitly excluding GCCP time from PR-qualifying years was reached; the exclusion is inferred from consistent secondary reporting.

What it costs to live there
$4,658 per person, per month. That is what one resident of Cayman Islands spends in an average month with housing included — not what a newcomer renting at market rates will spend, which is higher, and furthest above it in the cheapest countries.
Cost of living confidence: high · checked 2026-09-20UN Statistics Division, National Accounts Main Aggregates, reference year 2024: household consumption expenditure including NPISHs, current US$, divided by population and by twelve. The World Bank publishes no series for Cayman Islands, so the UN's copy of the same measure stands in. Population: World Bank population (SP.POP.TOTL, 2025). This is what one resident spends in an average month with housing included, since national accounts count the imputed rent of owner-occupiers. It is an average over the whole population, not a visitor's budget, so a newly arrived remote worker renting at market rates will spend more - see the city figures for what that looks like.
