Do I need a Visa or Passport to Visit the Caymans?

Question

I live in the USA. I’m an active SCUBA diver and have heard the Caymans have some amazing dive sites all around the islands.

I’ve been thinking about booking a trip down next year. Do I need a visa or passport to visit the islands?

US Citizens don't need a visa and can enter without a passport provided they can show an original or notarised birth certificate to prove their citizenship, and that they have a return or through ticket to a country that will accept them. (Source)

Whilst it might be technically possible to fly without a passport, returning to the US with just a birth certificate might lead to delays at US immigration.

A passport is the way to go.

As you are presumably a US resident, you can stay for up to 30 days:

Residents of the United States of America

A person resident in the United States of America who:

arrives in the Cayman Islands directly from that country;

on landing, produces a valid United States Alien Registration Card; and

produces a return or round trip ticket to that country,

may be permitted to enter and remain in the Islands for a period not exceeding thirty days.
