Fee breakdown
Estimated total CI$0
Estimates only — updated for the Immigration (Transition) (Fees) Regulations 2026 (effective 1 May 2026). Annual work permit fees are unchanged. Application/admin fees are now tiered (per Caymanian Protection (Fees) Regulations 2026): CI$100 (annual fee ≤CI$3,500) · CI$300 (CI$3,501–CI$10,400) · CI$500 (>CI$10,400). A new Express Determination Fee has also been introduced for expedited processing (tiered, separate from the standard application fee) — this calculator does not yet include express fee amounts as the exact published schedule should be confirmed at worc.ky. The employer is legally responsible for all permit fees — requiring an employee to contribute is an offence. Always confirm current fees at worc.ky before submitting.
