  • Extension of stay: possible at the Immigration and National Registration Department before the 90 days expire, subject to approval
  • Work/employment visa: required for taking up a job, needs sponsorship by a Brunei-based employer and must be arranged before travel

Entry conditions

  • Standard entry stamp grants up to 90 days for German passport holders, one of the most generous visa-free allowances Brunei offers
  • No paid employment is permitted on visa-free entry
  • Alcohol import and consumption are heavily restricted under Brunei's laws - be aware of strict local regulations during your stay
  • Extensions are discretionary and should be requested well before the stamped period ends

Fees & processing time

Tips for Germany travelers

  • Review Brunei's strict legal code (including restrictions on alcohol and public conduct) before travel, as these differ significantly from Germany
  • Confirm your flight connections carefully, as Brunei has limited direct international flight options from Europe
  • Keep proof of your onward travel handy, as it may be checked at the airport before boarding your inbound flight
  • No embassy visit is required for a standard tourist or short business trip
