Persons other than those referred to in section 66, and who are not prohibited immigrants, may be granted permission to land in the Islands as visitors for a period of up to six months, subject to extension, from time to time, for further periods not exceeding six months on each occasion upon application made to the Chief Immigration Officer in the prescribed manner.
In furtherance of section 20(1)(d) where documentary evidence is produced to the Chief Immigration Officer to establish that a child is the child of a Caymanian, the child shall be allowed to enter, remain and attend school in the Islands.
Where the effect of such extension is that the person to whom permission is granted will be permitted to remain for a period in excess of twelve months in total, upon such permission being granted the Chief Immigration Officer shall forthwith notify the Caymanian Status and Permanent Residency Board of such extension.
Any permission granted under subsection (1) or any extension thereof may, at any time, be revoked either by the Cabinet, or by the Chief Immigration Officer acting in person.
Where a passenger is proven to have gained entry into the Islands by deception and is still physically within the confines of the immigration or customs precincts, his permission to enter may be revoked by an immigration officer of the rank of Assistant Chief Immigration Officer or above.
The Cabinet or the Chief Immigration Officer, so revoking under subsection (4), shall cause to be served upon the person concerned notice of any such revocation in which shall be specified a time, not being more than fourteen days, within which such person shall be required to leave the Islands.
In the case of any child born in the Islands in such circumstances that it does not acquire the right to be Caymanian at birth, such child shall be reported to the Chief Immigration Officer as soon as practicable and shall thereafter be subject to immigration control in a manner appropriate in all the circumstances and having regard to the immigration status of the parents or, in the case of a child born out of wedlock, of the mother.
A dependant of a Caymanian may be granted permission to reside in the Islands for a period of up to three years, subject to extension, from time to time, for further periods not exceeding three years on each occasion upon application made to the Chief Immigration Officer in the prescribed manner.

that the applicant is a dependant of a Caymanian;
as to the character and health of the dependant;
as to the ability of the Caymanian adequately to support the dependant;
that the dependant is covered by health insurance; and
as to such other matters as he shall consider relevant.
An application submitted under this section shall be accompanied by the prescribed administrative fee and the prescribed repatriation fee.
Any permission granted under subsection (8) or any extension thereof may, at any time, be revoked by the Chief Immigration Officer acting in his discretion.
