TOP PRIORITY

The Cayman Islands’ reputation as a secure and trustworthy jurisdiction is crucial for maintaining its strong travel privileges. Implementing fingerprinting and facial recognition at border controls can significantly enhance the Islands’ security and vetting processes.

By integrating these advanced biometric technologies, the Cayman Islands can effectively identify potential security threats, including individuals whom are already here on work permits or with Cayman status and residency which may have slipped in before these new measures are implemented that could have malicious intent or those wanted for crimes globally. This proactive approach would not only protect the Islands’ residents and visitors but also demonstrate a commitment to international cooperation and security standards.

A comprehensive immigration policy with access to global databases would enable authorities to screen individuals arriving on work permits or seeking residency, reducing the risk of unscrupulous individuals exploiting the Cayman Islands’ hospitality. This would safeguard the Cayman Islands’ reputation and maintain its position as a respected member of the global community.

The benefits are clear: enhanced security, improved vetting, and protection of the Cayman Islands and its people travel privileges. It’s a smart investment in the Cayman Islands’ future.
