Brunei Darussalam

Visas

Countries whose citizens are eligible for visa-free entry for 14 days include Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Indonesia, Italy and Japan. Nationals of Germany, Ireland, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the UK are among those eligible for 30-day visa-free entry. US citizens do not need a visa for visits of up to 90 days. Australians are issued on arrival with a visa valid for a 14-day stay or can apply on arrival for a 30-day multiple-entry visa (B$20), which is useful if you are traversing the country overland, say, from Miri up to Kota Kinabalu.

It’s a good idea to ring your nearest Bruneian embassy or consulate to confirm what visa options are available to you.

There are visa-granting facilities at the borders with Sabah and Sarawak, but the process is time-consuming – it’s much easier if you can organise one in advance of your visit.
