Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit BN?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders DO need a visa to enter Brunei for tourism. Brazil is in Brunei's Category A (visa required) and is not on any visa-free or visa-on-arrival list, so you must obtain a visit visa from a Brunei diplomatic mission before you travel. As of 2026-05-30, a Brazil (BR) ordinary passport holder requires a visa to visit Brunei (BN) for tourism. The official Brunei Ministry of Foreign Affairs classifies Brazil under Category A, meaning a visa must be applied for through the nearest Brunei diplomatic mission abroad before travel. Brazil does not appear on any of Brunei's visa-exemption lists (90-day, 30-day, or 14-day) nor on the limited visa-on-arrival list (Australia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia). Brunei does not currently operate a general public eVisa or eTA channel for tourists; the standard route is a paper/manual application submitted to a Brunei mission (the nearest are typically in regional hubs, as Brunei has no resident mission in Brazil for many applicants, so a mission accredited to Brazil or in a transit country may be used). The official single-entry visit visa fee is USD 20 (approximately BND 27) and a multiple-entry visa is USD 30 (approximately BND 40). The visa is valid for up to three months from issuance, and the permitted stay is typically up to 30 days. Passports must be valid at least six months beyond the intended departure with several blank pages. Because Brunei is not in the Schengen area, the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here. Travelers should confirm the exact procedure and accredited mission directly with Brunei's MFA before booking, as fees and lodgement points can vary by mission.
