  • No visa photo required
  • Biometrics: fingerprints and photo may be captured on arrival at the airport
  • Travel health insurance is recommended

Entry conditions

  • Chinese passport holders may stay visa-free in Brunei for up to 14 days per visit
  • Entry is for tourism or short business meetings; paid employment is not permitted
  • Travelers wishing to stay longer than 14 days must apply for a visa extension or a formal visa in advance through the Brunei Immigration Department
  • Alcohol import and consumption rules are strict; check customs regulations before arrival

Fees & processing time

Tips for China travelers

  • Carry proof of onward travel and accommodation, as this is sometimes checked despite visa-free status
  • Plan your itinerary carefully, since 14 days is a relatively short visa-free period compared to neighboring Malaysia
  • If transiting to/from Malaysia or elsewhere in Borneo, confirm your onward visa requirements separately
  • Confirm current rules with the Brunei embassy or consulate in China before travel, as visa-free terms are periodically reviewed
