Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Brunei, not from your departure date. Double-check before applying.

Frequently asked questions
No. There is no visa-on-arrival for Tunisian citizens. You must obtain a visa from a Brunei embassy or consulate before traveling.
Processing typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Apply well in advance of your planned travel date.
You'll need a valid passport (6+ months validity), completed application form, passport-sized photos, confirmed return flight, hotel booking or invitation letter, and proof of sufficient funds. Some embassies may also ask for a bank statement or employment letter.
Visa fees vary by embassy. Contact the specific embassy or consulate where you apply for the exact amount. Expect to pay around 20–50 BND equivalent.
Extensions are not available for Tunisian passport holders on a standard visa. You must leave before your visa expires.
Brunei requires a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you are arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever. Tunisia is not a risk country, but check your travel history. Other routine vaccines are recommended.
The currency is the Brunei dollar (BND). Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and larger shops, but carry some cash for smaller vendors and taxis.
