Pathways to Brunei Residency and Citizenship

Brunei

Covered routes include employer-supported work and university study. A local employer or institution must support the relevant approvals. Entry permission, the work or student pass, and any re-entry requirements should be checked separately. These temporary routes do not promise permanent residence.

See the Southeast Asia guide for selected routes and the distinctions between entry, residence, and work permission.
