Travel advice for this country

General

Insurance

We recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before leaving UK. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake, including cover for medical evacuation by air ambulance particularly if you plan to engage in adventure sports. See travel insurance.
 
If things do go wrong when you are overseas then this is how we can help.
 

Money

Credit cards are accepted at most major establishments. Travellers' cheques can be cashed at banks or major hotels. Singapore Dollars may also be used in Brunei and are of the same value as the Brunei Dollar. Most other major currencies are convertible at banks, hotels or official moneychangers.
 

Registering with the British High Commission
