Cayman Islands WORC Portal Updated Submission Requirements

Key Point 

• The Cayman Islands will require detailed job ads and feedback for Caymanian applicants on WORC’s portal starting 1 November 2025 

Cayman Islands WORC Portal  

The Cayman Islands introduced new requirements for its online portal to enhance the efficiency, accuracy and compliance of immigration-related applications. These changes will take effect on 1 November 2025. 

Key Requirements for Employers: 

• Expanded Advertising Mandate: Employers must advertise all job postings, including part-time roles tied to annual work permits, on the WORC Online Portal for at least 14 consecutive days, unless specifically exempt (e.g., domestic helpers, caregivers, pastors/ministers or positions granted a waiver).
• Detailed Job Postings: Advertisements must now include comprehensive information: 
  • Job title and duties 
  • Required qualifications 
  • Salary and all benefits 
  • Work hours and job type 
  • Location and any special conditions or requirements 
• Caymanian Applicant Tracking and Feedback: Employers must log the outcome of each Caymanian application in the portal. If an employer does not hire a Caymanian, it must provide structured feedback. If they move forward with a work permit application, it must also submit mandatory supporting documentation.

According to the government, these updates aim to reduce processing delays and minimize administrative follow-ups.
