Brunei has restricted entry and transit to all travelers except for citizens and residents. Brunei has also introduced an exit travel ban, including for permanent residents, and expatriate workers (green identity card holders), and their dependents. Exceptions will be considered by the Prime Minister’s Office on a case-by-case basis, through email applications to travelapplication@jpm.gov.bn giving 14 days’ notice of the intention to travel, and setting out reasons why they need to leave the country. Full details are available on the Prime Minister’s Office website.

Travelers arriving in Brunei will be encouraged to download the BruHealth app. Travelers without the app may be barred from accessing a number of facilities. All visa issuances and exemptions are suspended.

Travelers from other countries who wish to enter Brunei may apply to the Brunei Immigration Department for special authorization to enter the country by downloading the form provided on the Department’s website at www.immigration.gov.bn. Travelers who have received prior authorization to enter Brunei are subject to a COVID-19 test at a cost of BND350, and will also be subject to a mandatory 15-day quarantine in a government-approved facility at their own expense. Upon arrival, travelers who are eligible for entry must present a medical certificate with a negative Coronavirus (COVID-19) test result issued within 72 hours of travel.
