Hong Kong (SAR China) to Brunei visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Brunei without a visa?

Up to 14 days. This is the maximum visa-free period and is generally non-extendable.

Q: Is there a fee to enter Brunei?

No. Visa-free entry is free of charge. There is no visa or visa-on-arrival fee for HKSAR passport holders.

Q: What if I want to stay longer than 14 days?

You must apply for a visa in advance at the Brunei Consulate General in Hong Kong before you travel.

Q: What passport validity does Brunei require?

Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, with at least one blank page.

Q: Can I work or study in Brunei on this visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is only for tourism and short visits. Work or study requires the appropriate visa and approval.

HKSAR ordinary passport holders can enter Brunei visa-free for up to 14 days for tourism. No advance visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is needed. Holders of the Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) ordinary passport enjoy visa-free entry to Brunei Darussalam for tourism and short visits of up to 14 days. This arrangement was established by Brunei's Consulate General in Hong Kong and is confirmed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, which lists Brunei among the territories granting visa-free access to HKSAR passport holders. No application, fee, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required for a stay within 14 days. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months on arrival and should be able to show proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds. The 14-day limit is non-extendable for visa-free entry, so longer stays require a visa obtained in advance from the Brunei Consulate General in Hong Kong. As with all travel, the final decision on admission and the length of stay granted rests with Brunei immigration officers at the port of entry.
