For the purposes of an application for a certificate of permanent residence, the investment must be in developed real estate (undeveloped or off-plan is not permissible). The investment can be in a single or multiple properties and can be residential, commercial or a mixture of the two. It is absolutely fine to invest with a business partner and/or for the investment to be made in someone else's existing project. Either way, the applicant must be in a position to show the chief immigration officer that they have invested the minimum sum of $2 million Cayman Island dollars ($2,439,024 in U.S. dollars) in developed real estate (either in their personal capacity or by way of a shareholding in the company that owns the developed real estate). I have been successful for applicants in all these different categories and with a mixture of personal and corporate real estate investments.
