What happens at the border

1
Contact the nearest Liberian embassy
Find the Liberian embassy or consulate responsible for Brunei (often in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, or Beijing). Email or call to confirm the exact application process, fees, and processing time. Brunei doesn't have a Liberian embassy, so you'll need to work with one of these regional missions.
2
Prepare your documents
Gather your passport (valid 6+ months), completed visa application form, passport-sized photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and any additional documents requested by the embassy. Make sure your yellow fever vaccination is up to date — you'll need to show the yellow card at immigration.
3
Submit your application
Submit the application in person or by mail. Pay the visa fee (typically $100–$200 USD, depending on the embassy). Processing can take 2–4 weeks, so apply at least a month before your planned departure.
4
Receive your visa and travel
Once approved, you'll get a visa sticker or letter. Carry it with your passport. At Roberts International Airport (ROB) in Monrovia, present your passport, visa, yellow fever card, and return ticket to immigration. Be prepared for questions about your accommodation and purpose of visit.
