Philippines to Brunei visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders can enter Brunei visa-free for tourism for up to 14 days. No visa is required, but you must complete Brunei's mandatory E-Arrival Card online before arrival and hold a passport valid for at least 6 months. As of 2026, the Philippines is classified by Brunei Darussalam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs under visa category D3, which grants ordinary passport holders visa-free entry for stays of up to 14 days for tourism (social/visit) purposes. No visa sticker, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required for a qualifying short tourist visit. However, since 8 January 2025 Brunei requires every foreign national arriving by air, land, or sea to submit an electronic E-Arrival Card through the Immigration Department's portal within 72 hours before arrival, in addition to (not instead of) any visa exemption. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. The 14-day exemption covers tourism and short social visits only; business, professional, or employment visits require a visa arranged in advance through a registered Brunei sponsor even if shorter than 14 days. Stays beyond 14 days require a formal visa from a Brunei diplomatic mission. Immigration officers may request proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds. Because Brunei is in Southeast Asia, the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
