Travel Authorisation Brunei

Description

Swiss citizens may travel to Brunei visa-free for up to 90 days, making it an attractive destination for short visits, tourism, and business trips. While a visa is not required, travelers must still comply with Brunei’s strict entry requirements, health regulations, and customs laws. Our Travel Authorisation Brunei service ensures that Swiss travelers are fully prepared before departure.

Entry documents:

• A valid Swiss passport with at least six months’ validity beyond the stay is required.

• Immigration officers may also request proof of return or onward travel, hotel booking or host invitation, and sufficient funds.

• We recommend carrying both digital and printed copies of all essential documents, including insurance policies, proof of funds, and flight details. This avoids issues with airlines or border officers.

Health and insurance requirements:

• Proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory if arriving from affected regions.

• COVID-19 rules have been relaxed but can be reinstated at short notice; always check before departure.

• Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended, covering medical care, hospitalization, and repatriation. Proof may be requested at the border.

Customs and local laws:

• Brunei enforces very strict customs regulations. Alcohol import is heavily restricted, and items such as tobacco, medicines, and religious materials are controlled. Declare such items on arrival to avoid fines.

• Travelers must also declare currency amounts of BND 15,000 or more.

• Beyond customs, Brunei has firm laws based on Islamic practice. Public behavior, dress codes, and respect for religious customs are taken seriously. Visitors should avoid alcohol consumption in public, dress modestly, and act respectfully at religious sites.

Stay limits and longer visits:
Swiss citizens may stay visa-free in Brunei for up to 90 days. Stays beyond this limit require applying for an extension through Bruneian immigration. For work, study, or residence, separate permits are required and should be arranged well in advance.
