The UK ETA is designed for travelers visiting the United Kingdom for short stays. With this travel authorization, you can enter the UK for several purposes, including tourism and business.
The ETA is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. You can enter and leave the UK multiple times during this period, as long as each visit stays within the six-month limit.
If your nationality does require a visa for the Cayman Islands, you must apply online before travel through Cayman Islands Customs & Border Control.
You can apply up to 3 months before your trip.
Typical documents include: passport bio page, a photo, travel dates and flight info, proof of accommodation, return/onward ticket, and proof of funds; you upload these during the online form.
After submission, you wait for a decision, and if approved you travel with the visa confirmation. If you want to stay longer once there, you can apply online for a visitor extension before your permitted time runs out.
