Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit BN?

British citizen passport holders can visit Brunei visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism. No visa or fee is required, but you must submit Brunei's e-Arrival declaration before travel and hold a passport valid for at least 6 months on arrival. A United Kingdom ordinary (British citizen) passport holder does not need a visa for short tourist visits to Brunei Darussalam. Brunei grants British citizens visa-free entry for stays of up to 90 days, one of the most generous allowances in its visa policy (the same bracket as the EU, USA and Canada). This is confirmed by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (GOV.UK travel advice, updated 2026) and by Brunei's published visa policy. Although no visa is required, all travellers must complete Brunei's electronic Arrival Declaration (e-Arrival) before arriving, and a Health Declaration may be requested. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date and be free of damage or missing pages. The visa-free channel applies only to full British citizen passports; other categories of British nationality (such as British National Overseas, British Overseas Citizen) should verify separately with Brunei immigration or the Brunei High Commission in London. The 90-day allowance covers tourism and short visits only. Travel for work, study, long-term residence or business beyond a short visit requires the appropriate visa or permit arranged in advance. Overstaying or breaching entry conditions in Brunei carries severe penalties, including detention and corporal punishment (caning), so travellers should respect the permitted stay and entry terms.
