Tips to extend your stay in Brunei
- Visa run: Leave Brunei before 90 days and enter Malaysia or Indonesia (neighboring countries), then return to Brunei for a new 90-day exemption
- Long-stay visa application: Contact Brunei embassy to explore long-stay visa options (work, residence)
- Planning: Calculate your 90 days over a 180-day period to optimize your stay
- Documents: Always keep digital and physical copies of your important documents
Example: A Romanian citizen arrives in Brunei on January 1, 2026 with a 90-day exemption (until March 31, 2026). If they wish to stay longer, they can travel to Malaysia on March 25, stay there for a few days, then return to Brunei on April 1 to obtain a new 90-day period (until June 30, 2026). This strategy allows staying up to 180 days over a 180-day period.
