🇧🇳 Brunei visa requirements for Russian citizens

Entry rules for Russia passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Russia can travel to Brunei for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 14 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 14-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Brunei, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Brunei immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
