Clear answers on eligibility, processing times, validity, and entry requirements.
Yes. The INRS E-Arrival Card replaces paper Form 19 (Borang 19) for both disembarkation and embarkation. You provide both your Planned Date of Arrival and Planned Date of Departure (along with your arrival and departure flight, vehicle, or vessel) on the same form.
Yes. Only Brunei Citizens (Yellow IC) and Permanent Residents (Purple IC) are exempt. Green IC holders are classified as foreign nationals and must submit an E-Arrival Card for every trip, entering their Green IC number in the Foreign Identity Card No. field.
If you are entering Brunei to visit or stay, you must submit the E-Arrival Card (entering your vehicle license plate under Arrival/Departure Vehicle Registration No.) in addition to the CaPSeC Cross-Border Vehicle Pass (`exitentry.mofe.gov.bn`). Only same-day through-transit commuters between Sarawak/Sabah territories who do not stay overnight in Brunei are exempt from the E-Arrival Card.
Brunei Immigration strictly enforces a 6-month minimum passport validity rule. Your passport expiration date must be at least 6 months later than your Planned Date of Arrival.
No. For the Arrival block, you must fill in exactly one transport field (Flight No., Vehicle Registration No., or Vessel Name) and leave the other two blank. The same rule applies to the Departure block, though you may arrive by one mode (e.g., ferry) and depart by another (e.g., flight).
No commercial service or private agency can guarantee border admission into Brunei. Final entry permission rests exclusively with border control and immigration officers at your port of entry. NomadicMart is an independent private application concierge not affiliated with the Government of Brunei or imm.gov.bn. We verify your declaration data and submit it accurately within the official filing window.
