Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry into Brunei. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Brunei
Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A printed itinerary or e-ticket works. If you arrive without one, expect extra questioning or possible denial of entry.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Immigration may ask where you are staying — showing a booking avoids delays.Recommended
Proof of funds
Sufficient cash or bank statement
Carry at least 500 BND (or equivalent in cash) or a recent bank statement. Officers rarely check, but if asked, you need to show you can support yourself during your stay.Recommended
Passport validity counts from arrival, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Brunei. If it expires sooner, even if you're leaving before that date, you'll be turned away.
No visa extensions available
The 90-day visa-free stay is fixed. You cannot extend it. Overstaying even by a day can lead to fines and future entry bans.
