Not sure I undrestand your question. Visa applications are normally dealt with through a British Consulate or High Commission - see http://www.caymanislands.ky/tour_guide/entry_requirements.asp Not sure how long they take to process requests.

Work permit applications have to be submitted by the employer, along with all the neccessary evidence (medical report, police report, photos, fees, evidence that a Caymanian can't fill the post, etc). It can take up to three months for a full work permit application to be processed. However, I believe that employers can apply for a temporary work permit while the full permit is being processed on the understanding that if the full permit isn't granted then the temporary permit is also revoked.

Good luck!
Robert
