Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit BN?

Finnish ordinary passport holders can enter Brunei visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days. No visa or pre-arrival travel authorization is required; just ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months and you hold proof of onward travel and funds. Finland is on Brunei's visa-waiver list (Brunei Ministry of Foreign Affairs "Category D" - no visa required), and as an EU member state Finnish ordinary-passport holders may enter Brunei without a visa for tourist, business or transit stays of up to 90 days. This is one of the most generous tiers Brunei offers (other nationalities receive only 14 or 30 days). Entry conditions: a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, evidence of sufficient funds, and confirmed onward/return tickets. Brunei's e-Arrival Card pre-registration was discontinued in July 2024, so no online card is needed before flying; however, all arriving travellers should be prepared to complete a health declaration via the BruHealth system on arrival and may complete a paper arrival/disembarkation card at the port of entry. Stays beyond 90 days require a separate visa or an extension obtained from the Brunei Immigration Department before the visa-free period expires. Travellers should note Brunei applies strict laws (including a total alcohol-import limit and severe penalties for narcotics) and should review current advisories before departure. The verdict is visa-free; no fee applies for the standard short tourist stay.
