What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry into Brunei.
  • Completed Brunei visa application form
  • Two recent passport-size photos (white background)
  • Confirmed round-trip flight itinerary
  • Proof of accommodation in Brunei (hotel booking or sponsor's address)
  • Bank statement showing sufficient funds for the trip
  • Letter of invitation from a sponsor in Brunei (required for most applications given the limited Brunei diplomatic footprint for Pakistani applicants)
  • No biometrics are generally collected at the consular stage; fingerprinting may occur on arrival
  • Travel insurance is recommended though not mandatory

Visa types

  • Single-entry Visit Visa: for tourism or visiting family/friends, valid for a stay of up to 30 days, fee around USD 20
  • Business Visa: single entry, up to 30 days, fee around USD 30, requires a company invitation letter
  • Multiple-entry Visa: for frequent travelers with an established sponsor, longer validity, fee assessed case by case

How to apply

  • Since Brunei has no resident mission in Pakistan, applications are typically processed through the Brunei High Commission with jurisdiction over Pakistan (commonly its mission in a neighboring country) or via a local sponsor who lodges the application with Brunei Immigration directly.
  • Obtain a sponsor's invitation letter if visiting family, friends, or a business contact in Brunei
  • Submit the application form and documents to the relevant Brunei mission, by courier if there is no local office
  • Pay the visa fee as instructed by the mission
  • Await the visa approval letter or sticker, typically returned by courier
  • Present the visa and passport on arrival at Brunei International Airport

Fees & processing time

  • Single-entry visit visa fee: approximately USD 20 (around PKR 5,600)
  • Business visa fee: approximately USD 30
  • Courier/facilitation charges (since there is no resident mission) may add PKR 3,000-4,000
  • Standard processing time: 5-7 working days once the application reaches the responsible mission
  • No official expedited service is published; allow extra time for courier transit

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Secure a sponsor or invitation letter early, as this significantly speeds up approval for Pakistani applicants
  • Common rejection reasons: no clear sponsor, insufficient funds, or unclear purpose of travel
  • Apply at least 3-4 weeks ahead given the courier time to and from the nearest Brunei mission
  • Carry a printed invitation letter and accommodation proof for immigration checks on arrival
  • Extensions of stay inside Brunei are possible at the Immigration Department in Bandar Seri Begawan but require the sponsor's continued support
