Egyptian citizens may apply for Cayman Islands residence by investment. There is no nationality bar for Egypt. The headline route is the Certificate of Permanent Residence for Persons of Independent Means, which rests on a qualifying investment in developed real estate plus proof of sufficient financial resources.
Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman processes these certificates and publishes the binding criteria. Confirm the current detail before you commit funds.
The main route grants permanent residence to persons of independent means who invest in developed real estate. A separate long term residency certificate exists with different thresholds and conditions. The right to work is treated separately and may need a further endorsement.
Processing depends on the certificate type and current caseload, and approvals for the permanent route are capped each year. Confirm the current timing and any annual cap with the authority.
The headline figure is the qualifying investment in developed real estate. Government and application fees apply on top. Verify every figure with the authority before you act.
