Permanent residents in Cayman urged to pay annual fees or risk losing their rights

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, CMC - Permanent residents in the Cayman Islands who have not paid their annual fees are being urged to pay up or face losing the right to live in the territory.

The Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman (The Department of Immigration) says as part of its ongoing commitment to ensure compliance with immigration regulations, it is reminding those with permanent residence to pay the required fees each year on or before the anniversary date of receiving their status.

Those with permanent residency are reminded that failure to pay fees in full and on time could result in revocation, a release from WORC said.

Any outstanding fees that remain unpaid beyond 90 days will be referred to the Caymanian Status and Permanent Residency Board.

“It is imperative for permanent residents to adhere to their financial obligations to maintain their residency rights within our community,” the release said.

“WORC again reminds permanent residence holders that annual fees are to be paid on or before the anniversary date to ensure compliance with immigration legislation.”

According to the most recent figures released by WORC, there are more than 6,000 people with permanent residency status living in Cayman.
