Cayman to Ease Visa Requirements |
Cayman Premier McKeeva Bush announced at the Northern Caribbean Conference on Economic Co-operation, that local authorities are to change the present visa requirements for Jamaicans by January.
The change was being made to improve his country’s business environment, he told the audience of 160 representatives of government and the private sector from across the sub-region. The conference focused on issues relating to the Bahamas, The Cayman Island, Cuba, The Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
“I can now tell you that a new 1-5 day business visa will be introduced for business travellers visiting for legitimate business purposes,” he added. “In these instances, the business visa will replace the need for these persons obtaining temporary work permits for short trips to attend meetings or conferences.”
“The Northern Caribbean is rich in opportunities, that if carefully nurtured, could deliver economic growth and prosperity,” stated Earl Jarrett, General Manager of Jamaica National Building Society, which supported the event. He said regional leaders could take advantage of these opportunities by acting co-operatively.
