While the borders to the Cayman Islands remain closed to commercial airlift and cruise traffic at this time, the Cayman Islands has officially announced the launch of the Global Citizen Concierge Program (GCCP), a tourism initiative designed for digital nomads looking to take advantage of the flexibility provided by remote work. Eligible professionals and families can upgrade their home offices significantly, by choosing to live and work remotely in the Cayman Islands for up to two years by acquiring a Global Citizen Certificate.
Global citizens, for example, could begin their day with a stroll along Seven Mile Beach, snorkel with stingrays during lunch and be “home for dinner” with offerings from the Cayman Islands’ best locales.
Travelers interested in obtaining a Global Citizen Certificate are invited to apply online. The criteria for the GCCP stipulates the following:
- Applicants must provide a letter showing proof of employment with an entity outside of the Cayman Islands stating position and annual salary. Minimum salary requirements are as follows:
- Individual applicants must make a minimum household income of $100,000 for single households.
- Applicant with an accompanying spouse/civil partner must make a minimum household income of $150,000 for two person households.
- Applicant with a spouse/civil partner and dependent child or children must make a minimum household income of $180,000.

- Image of valid passport photo page and visa, if relevant for all applicants in party.
- A notarized bank reference.
- Proof of current health insurance coverage for all applicants in your party.
