Verified practical details
You'll need to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy before travelling. Here are the practical details we've verified:
Required documents
- Passport valid for at least six months, undamaged and with no pages missing. The authorities are strict: with less than six months, even by a few days, entry can be refused and the traveller detained.
- Electronic arrival card (e-Arrival) completed before travel.
- Health declaration form, before or on arrival.
- An entry stamp in the passport: check that it is applied. Land border posts are not open 24 hours.
Transit rules
Dual nationals must enter and leave on the same passport, because that determines their nationality in Brunei, and Brunei does not recognise dual nationality for its own citizens. Before leaving a land or sea border post, check that the entry and exit stamps are correct.
