Hello Everyone,

I'm a new member and have the following question,

I'm planing to visit Grand Cayman Islands from the United State, but my passport is almost expired. What is the passport requirement for entering the Grand Cayman Islands?

Thank you in advance.

The Bahamas and Grand Caymen require a valid passport for entry (as of 2007). You'll need to renew your passport.

I don't know specifically for Grand Cayman, but the general rule of thumb is that you should not be travelling with a passport that has less than six months left. Also, I believe that the policies vary by airlines (i.e., they have rules about how close to expiration your passport can be).

There are a lot of posts about this subject on Fodors. Type "passport expiration" or "passport expiring" into the search bar, and you might be able to find more guidance.

You don't say when your passport expires. Anyway, the Cayman Island and the Bahamas don't appear to have that 3-6 months passport validity requirement, according to the State Dept. website. I would still advise you to call the Bahamian and Cayman consulates or embassies in the U.S. and ask.

Bahamas - see exit and entry requirement section:

Cayman Islands - see exit and entry requirement section:

As opposed to Israel's requirements (for example) which clearly states your passport has to be good beyond 6 months:

I just got back from a cruise to Eastern Caribbean, my passport expires 02/2010, and I was told that was fine, that cruises and certain islands did not follow that 6 month requirement, and I had no problems. Check with a travel agent or a passport office. Good luck!
