In this Part, unless the context otherwise requires, a reference to the Chief Immigration Officer in relation to the granting or renewal of work permits shall be construed as including a reference to anyone specifically designated by him to perform those duties.
All or any of the powers conferred upon the Chief Immigration Officer under subsection (5) may be delegated by him to any members of his staff.
A person who seeks to be self-employed or a prospective employer of any person may apply for a work permit or the renewal thereof —
to the Work Permit Board, the Business Staffing Plan Board or the Chief Immigration Officer, as the case may be, where the application is for gainful occupation in Grand Cayman; or
to the Cayman Brac and Little Cayman Immigration Board where the application is for gainful occupation in Cayman Brac or Little Cayman.
An application for the grant or renewal of a work permit or a Term Limit Exemption Permit shall be in the prescribed form and accompanied by —
the administrative filing fee, the work permit fee and where applicable the dependant fee and repatriation fee and such documentary evidence as may be prescribed; and
a written undertaking by the worker to submit to being fingerprinted and to the fingerprints being recorded electronically.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Law, the Chief Immigration Officer or his designate shall process applications and otherwise make determinations in respect of —
the grant or renewal of a work permit or a Term Limit Exemption Permit;
the grant of a work permit under section 52(10);
the grant of a final (non-renewable) work permit where permanent residence has been refused and an appeal against such refusal has not been lodged; and
an amendment to a work permit.
For the avoidance of doubt the Chief Immigration Officer or his designate may amend but may not grant or renew a Business Staffing Plan.
A delegation under subsection (2) —
shall be in writing or if made orally shall be reduced to writing as soon as possible afterwards;
may be made subject to such limitations and conditions as are specified in the instrument of delegation; and
may be revoked at any time by the grantor.
Where the Chief Immigration Officer or his designates entertain an application under subsection (3) or section 53, it shall be his or their responsibility, as the case may be, to record and keep all minutes of the meetings and proceedings, including decisions taken.
