The Cayman Islands Government recently announced the decision taken to close our airports for a period of 3 weeks starting from Sunday, 22^nd March 2020 through to Sunday, 12^th April 2020.

To assist persons who will be departing the islands, the visitor extension process at Customs and Border control has been temporarily varied for visitors and work permit holders. 

·         Visitors whose permission to remain in the islands will expire between the 22^nd March 2020 to 31^st March 2020 will not be required to submit a Visitor Extension Application.  Visitors will not have to present themselves to a Customs and Border Control Officer and no action will be taken for permission that expires between those dates.

·        Departing work permit holders whose permission to continue working will expire on or before the 22^nd March 2020, are not required to appear before a Customs and Border Control Officer to submit a Visitor Extension Application.  These persons can proceed with departing the islands prior to airport closures.

The travelling public is reminded that outbound flights will operate as usual through Sunday 22^nd March 2020.
