No, it is not necessary to maintain a minimum deposit. Successful applicants would need to demonstrate (both as part of the application process by way of a letter of employment and on an ongoing basis) that they meet the minimum requirements in respect of income generated outside the Cayman Islands. For an individual, this is a minimum of US$100,000 per annum; where an applicant wishes to bring their spouse or civil partner to live in Cayman, the minimum income requirement increases to US$150,000; and where an individual or couple also wish to bring a dependent child or children, the minimum income requirement increases to US$180,000.
