Visas

British passport holders do not require a visa to enter Brunei as tourists for stays of up to 30 days, penalties may be imposed on those who overstay.  You should ensure that the entry stamp in your passport indicates the validity of stay.  Visas for longer stays or for non-tourist purposes must be obtained from the nearest Brunei diplomatic mission before travel.

Passport validity 

You will normally be refused entry to Brunei if your passport has less than six months' remaining validity.

Dual Nationality

Dual nationals should also be aware that Brunei does not recognise dual nationality, so you can be refused entry if you are found to be holding two passports of different nationality.  If you are a dual national it is advisable to enter Brunei on the passport on which you exited your last country of departure. While in Brunei your nationality will be deemed to be that shown on the passport which you used to enter the country.  This may affect the consular assistance that you receive in Brunei. 

Travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country. They may want to see birth certificates, a letter of consent from the other parent or some evidence as to your responsibility for the child. Bruneian authorities do not normally require such evidence, but if you have any concerns please check with the Bruneian High Commission in London.
