Persons requiring a visa for entry into or transit through the Cayman Islands must apply to the nearest British Embassy or Consulate that has a Visa Section.

Note: nationals outside of Jamaica and Honduras must apply to the British Embassy using the online visa submission site.

Multiple-entry visas

Multiple-entry visas are available and may be issued for multiple entries over a period of twelve months, twenty-four months, or thirty-six months at the discretion of the visa issuing officer. To apply for a multiple-entry visa, check the appropriate box on the visa application form. The fee for a multiple-entry visa is the same as the fee for a single-entry visa.

How long does it take for a visa application to be processed?

Seven to ten working days after the application has been submitted at the Cayman Islands Visa Offices in Jamaica and Honduras. Applications submitted to a UK Overseas Mission may take over 14 days to be processed.
