Why this verdict
Australian citizens are encoded from Brunei MFA's ordinary-passport country table and Category C1 page. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary short visits only. Diplomatic/service passports, work, study, residence, business-visit sponsorship, border officer discretion and carrier checks can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Stay longer than the visa-on-arrival duration or business visit Visa required
Brunei's MFA category pages say travellers need a visa application for longer stays and for business visits.
