Brunei visa for Norwegian citizens

What it means in practice

90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How Brunei counts your stay: The visa-free period (14, 30 or 90 days) depends on nationality. Overstaying can lead to detention and caning.

Before you go

Official details are shown in English.

• Brunei E-Arrival Card — Before travel; airlines may ask for it at check-in; Free. Mandatory for all foreign nationals arriving by air, land or sea. You need your passport, travel details and your address in Brunei. The card is not a visa or pass. Not needed if you transit without passing immigration. Register only on imm.gov.bn: the department does not authorise anyone to charge for it. Official site
• Health Declaration Form — Before or on arrival; Free. Complete the health declaration before or on arrival. A yellow fever certificate is required if you come from a country with yellow fever transmission risk. Official site

At the border

Official details are shown in English.

• Passport valid at least 6 months after arrival, undamaged and with no missing pages
• E-Arrival Card completed before arrival
• Check that your passport is stamped on entry; at land borders check the exit and entry stamps before leaving the post
• Declare alcohol and other dutiable goods (Customs.BN app or at the airport)

How to avoid overstaying

• Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
• Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
• Extend before you run out. To stay longer than the visa-waiver period, apply for a visa.
• What overstaying costs. Overstaying can lead to detention and caning.

Good to know

Official details are shown in English.

• Land border posts with Malaysia are not open 24 hours; check opening times before travelling.
• Brunei does not recognise dual nationality for its citizens; enter and leave on the same passport.
