Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Prepare for Travel

Ensure your passport has sufficient validity, print your return flight ticket, and have your hotel reservation ready. Also, complete the online E-Arrival declaration form before arriving.

2

Arrive in Brunei

Upon arriving at Brunei International Airport or major land borders, head straight to the 'Visa on Arrival' counter before immigration.

3

Pay and Get Stamped

Present your documents, pay the fee of 20 BND (Brunei Dollars) in cash, and receive your 14-day entry visa stamp.

Required Documents

  • Valid Chinese passport (minimum 6 months validity from the date of entry)
  • Confirmed return or onward flight ticket within 14 days
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking)
  • Completed E-Arrival form (submit online before travel)
  • Sufficient funds for the stay (cash or credit cards)

Important Tips

  • It is highly recommended to have exact change in Brunei Dollars (BND) or Singapore Dollars (SGD) for the visa fee, as they are used interchangeably.
  • The Visa on Arrival is strictly for 14 days; extensions are generally not granted for tourism.
  • Fill out the E-Arrival form within 24 hours prior to your arrival to expedite the immigration process.
  • If you are entering via a land border from Malaysia, ensure that specific checkpoint offers VOA services.

Easiest Way to Get It

The Visa on Arrival at Brunei International Airport is the easiest method. Just ensure you have the exact 20 BND/SGD cash ready.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.
