Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Greek passport needs at least 6 months of validity beyond your 90-day stay in Brunei. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Brunei | Immigration officers at Brunei International Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they won't let you through without it. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Brunei immigration may ask for your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Keep a printed confirmation or a digital copy on your phone — it's not always checked, but saves time if they ask. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Carry at least BND 500 (about €340) in cash or have a credit card with available limit. Immigration rarely asks, but if you can't show funds, they may deny entry. | Recommended |
No visa needed — but don't skip the checklist
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration can still ask for proof of onward travel and accommodation. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check this before you board. If your passport expires within 6 months of your entry date, you'll be denied boarding. No exceptions.
