Brunei - Consular Information Sheet
November 13, 1992
Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy is located on the third floor,
Teck Guan Plaza, Jalan Sultan, in the capital city of Bandar Seri
Begawan. The mailing address is American Embassy, Box B, APO AP
96440; telephone (673)(2)229-670.
Country Description: Brunei is a small Islamic Sultanate on the
north coast of the island of Borneo. The capital, Bandar Seri
Begawan, is the only major city. Tourist facilities are good, and
generally available.
Entry Requirements: Passports and visas are required. Visas must
be obtained in advance. A visa is valid for three months and
requires a $7.50 fee, an application form, two photos, a letter
stating the purpose of the visit, itinerary, onward/return ticket
and proof of sufficient funds. A yellow fever vaccination is needed
if arriving from an infected area. For more information the
traveler may contact the Embassy of the State of Brunei Darussalam,

Medical Facilities: Hospital and medical services in Brunei are
available, with good facilities. Doctors and hospitals often expect
immediate cash payment for health services. U.S. medical insurance
is not always valid outside the United States. Supplemental medical
insurance with specific overseas coverage has proved useful. The
international travelers hotline at the Centers for Disease Control
can be reached at (404) 332-4559 for additional useful health
information.
Information on Crime: The crime rate in Brunei is very low, and
violent crime is rare. Useful information on guarding valuables and
protecting personal security while traveling abroad is provided in
the Department of State pamphlet, "A Safe Trip Abroad". It is
available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Drug Penalties: Penalties for possession, use or trafficking in
illegal drugs are strict and convicted offenders can expect jail
sentences and fines.

obtain updated information on travel and security within the area.
