Public Consultation is now open on the Immigration (Transition) (Amendment & Validation) Bill, 2025 (“Immigration Bill”). The period runs from 17 October to 14 November 2025.

The proposed amendments to the Immigration (Transition) Act (2022 Revision) are intended to update and refine aspects of the existing legislative framework to ensure it remains responsive to evolving social and economic circumstances.

The proposed amendments to the Bill are as follows:

• Name change to the principal Act
• Confirmation of Caymanian Status
• Loss and Revocation of Caymanian Status
• Discretion for RERC Continuation
• Extended RERC Holding Period Before Naturalisation
• Continuation of RERC for Parents of Caymanian Children
• Expanded Grounds for Revocation of PR and RERC
• Financial Standing Requirements
• Work Permit Changes
• Annual Declarations for Key Facilities
• Information Sharing and Collaboration
• Exemptions under Section 53(1)(b)
• Public Sector Term Limits
• Commercial Farmhand Certificates
• Fees and Fines 

*It should be noted, however, that the Immigration Bill does not propose any changes to the permanent residency framework. Such changes will be addressed in the next round of legislative amendments.
