Presumably his daughter Claire has these capabilities as well, though they're not shown on-screen.

Once you've given your permission, they can apparently stay as long as they need to, though the conversation between Claire!Castiel and Jimmy seems to imply that they might need to ask again if circumstances(such as Castiel being recalled to Heaven and pulled out of Jimmy) depend on it. Castiel also, this time, makes sure that Jimmy understands ''this'' possession will be open-ended until Castiel's task is done, and that it could take years.
