Request for Audit Filing Extension
VASP Registration Application
The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (the "Authority") is advising of a change to the application form for the registration of Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) through the REEFS portal. Effective 13 December 2024, the current VASP application form, APP 101-84, will be replaced with a new form, APP 101-84-05. This enhancement is designed to streamline the application process by incorporating additional questions and clarifying document requirements. These changes ensure better alignment with the Virtual Asset Service Provider Act (2024 Revision), improve the completeness of submissions, and facilitate a more efficient registration process.
Important Transition Information:
1. All new VASP applications from 13 December 2024 onwards must be submitted using the updated APP 101-84-05 form via the REEFS portal.
2. Applications that are in-progress as of December 13th can still be completed using the existing APP 101-84 form and submitted before 5:00pm on 30 January 2025. Applicants that are not able to submit any in-progress applications by January 30, 2025 would need to use the new form APP 101-84-05 for submitting applications for registration.
Should you require any assistance regarding the new form or the VASP application process, please refer to the Completion Guide available on the CIMA website.

Search Tips
Search Tips: did you know you can use a wildcard (the % symbol) in the search for specific reporting windows?
For example: in any of the grey boxes below you can search for a Reporting Window using only a partial string such as %Sample% which will return rows that have the word sample anywhere in the name. Similarly the search term sample% will return only those rows that start with the word sample.
