Let's look before we leap. The OP started out very well.... with high hopes while we be waiting impatiently for him to share his travels. He is on his way and to date ... shared nothing about his arrival nor his stay in Cayman Islands. Is it he is that busy?...or something went wrong?

FYI ...Cayman Islands is small ... has a very small population ... no room to "get lost in the crowd". Tourism is their main thing ... so as a tourist... you're welcomed. To go for a job .... have all the paperwork on point ... or else? Maybe OP should testify. BTW ... Cayman Dollar is stronger than USD ... one CD is 82 cents US. Why wouldn't the world rush to get there?.... and why wouldn't they be super strict to prevent the world from settling there? Food for thought... I'm out

You are right bro. Cayman Islands is not a place you can hustle except you have your papers complete. Very small country.

Like I mentioned earlier, their pay is not competitive despite being a very rich and expensive country to live in. However, their currency is strong and almost equivalent to pounds. Cayman worc visa (work permit) is quite easy to get if you have a local sponsor. Getting the sponsor is the issue.

Lol, crazy thing is, you will hardly want to settle in Cayman Islands if you are a hustler. Cayman Islands is designed for the rich, specifically tourists. They don't produce shit. All their revenue comes from tourism and that is why hospitality business thrives there.

Tired9jaran:
How much did the work permit cost and what is the nature of the work??

Any documentation and what dre cost thanks

Well, I am a skilled guy in a very less-competitive/dangerous (I mean hazardous )industry,
The company reached out to me (and showed interest in bringing me to CI) and they did everything about the visa and work permit. I only provided details, documentation etc.

So I couldn’t say any amount spent for the work permit, and I think it’s a very strict process due to the demands of documentation and paperwork involved.

I hope this answered your queries

Sorry, I am new to Nairaland,
I have never registered I only come here for news and information, until this time that I want to find out about Cayman Island.

I have been busy with family stuff, because I have been working oversea (about 3years now in 2different countries), just came to Nigeria for the purpose to moving to cayman.

So transit visa applications and documentation has kept me away from Nairaland. Apologies.

So I am here now to provide informations to my fellow Nigerians.

[quote author=Ilabegangan post=131599205]Please do you have any other route to the Bahamas without UK, US and Canada ? UK denied my transit visa today and I already have Bahamas visa and flight on the 10th of September.

[quote author=Bybellman post=131656156][/quote]Sorry about your experience. I don't know any other route to the Caribbean. You can try again!

I believe the problem here as stated is your financial statement and it's inconsistency to your outflow. Work on this and reapply.

Yes, I believe it also. Fix the bank statement. I sent you an email.

UPDATE!!!
I got to cayman successfully,
And I’ve been working for the last 20days plus.
It’s good out here, people are nice, genuine company are welcoming and very very helpful to settle in.

It is extremely expensive so it will take you few months to get stable, from getting all the English test and medicals done, to getting an apartment, to renting or owning a car (which are very expensive by the way).

But all is good right now by God’s grace.

I know it has been a long time since you probably posted here, but I am on the hunt for information on how to get to the CI from here. WHat route did you use? What documents did you have to provide?

If possible, Can we connect should incase I need some guidiance from a fellow nigerian already living there.

MaxWalter:
I like checking threads like that because people drop real tips on costs, places to stay, and what surprised them. I usually note the honest bits before planning my own trip.

You are right!

I really enjoyed reading their experiences in Cayman island 🏝

Are you still in CI?
