Global Citizen Concierge Programme
Closed
Last verified July 2026
Closed to new applicants. Launched in October 2020 as one of the first Caribbean remote-work visas, offering up to two years' residence for remote workers with a USD 100,000 minimum income. It was the first digital nomad visa in the world to shut. Cayman now expects long-stay remote workers to use the standard residency certificates instead.
This programme is closed. We keep the page up because agents still
advertise it and clients still ask. Nothing below is available to new applicants.
We list it because it is still marketed by aggregator sites farming traffic, and clients still ask for it. It is dead. The lesson generalises: pandemic-era Caribbean remote-work visas were tourism-recovery instruments, not migration policy, and several have quietly lapsed.
