Important Changes to WORC Services

Grand Cayman, 27 May 2024 – In an effort to better service customers, Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman (WORC) will be going through a transition period and changes in services will occur.

JobsCayman Portal Goes Offline

Effective 11:59 pm on Wednesday, 29 May, the current JobsCayman portal will no longer be available. This includes payments, job seeker registration, employer registration, posting job ads, and applying for jobs.
 

Customer Care Relocates to Artemis House – 67 Fort Street George Town

Effective, Monday 3 June, the Customer Care services will relocate to Artemis House. Customers will be able to access the same services that were offered at Apollo House West such as:

  • Payments
  • Submission of Applications
  • Passport Endorsement Stamps


Customers can park at the Apollo House West parking lot and follow the signs to Artemis House.  All other WORC services remain at Apollo House West which include the Employment Services and Training & Development Unit for Caymanians seeking employment or training.

 

WORC Online Services & Temporary Payment Arrangements

 As the existing JobsCayman online portal goes offline,  a site offering reduced online services will be available on 3 June. This site is temporary and will allow the final developing and testing of the new WORC Jobs & Online Payment  Services which is anticipated to launch on 18 June 2024.

The temporary site will have the following key functionalities:

  • Employers can continue to post job advertisements on worc.ky, and
  • Job-seekers can still search and apply for jobs on worc.ky.


However, payments must be made in-person. Customers submitting three (3) or more applications are encouraged to utilize the corporate drop bag to reduce wait times. Customer Care Officers will be on hand to review documents and ensure drop off is handled as efficiently as possible.

Passport Endorsement Stamps for Immediate Travel

WORC requests that during this time of transition only persons with immediate travel plans who want to secure a passport endorsement stamp to do so within ten (10) days before travelling. This measure will assist WORC in managing the high demand of this service as the summer approaches and persons travel plans increase. Persons are also reminded that a valid permit license can also be used as a travel document.

WORC appreciates your understanding and cooperation as these changes commence to enhance our service delivery. The office number remains the same at 945-9672, toll free 1-800-534-9672 or email WORC@gov.ky. For further updates on these changes visit worc.ky or follow on Facebook and Instagram.

Annual Declaration Requirement for Permanent Residency Holders

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, 3 July 2025 – Workforce Opportunities & Residency Cayman (WORC) reminds all Permanent Residency holders that duly completed Annual Declaration Forms must be submitted on or before the expiry date of their annual payment.

In accordance with Section 37(12) of the Immigration (Transition) Act, holders of a Certificate issued under subsection (5), or under Sections 41 or 42, are required to submit an annual declaration containing the prescribed particulars relating to themselves and their dependants. Failure to submit this declaration is an offence and may result in the revocation of the Certificate. 

The Annual Declaration Form is expected to be submitted together with payment of the annual residency fee.

If you have already paid your annual residency fee but have not yet submitted your Annual Declaration Form for 2025, you are strongly urged to do so immediately to avoid the potential revocation of your Permanent Residency. 

As of July 2025, WORC will be intensifying its ongoing monitoring and enforcement of this requirement. While compliance has always been expected, stricter enforcement measures will now be applied. Non-compliance may result in fines of up to CI$5,000 and potential revocation of residency status. 

To submit outstanding annual declaration forms, please email AnnualDeclarationSubmissions@gov.ky
