About the Brunei Passport
Brunei's passport is in the strong tier, ranking 14th by mobility. Citizens can enter 111 destinations visa-free, and the total reaches 165 when eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa options are counted. Asia and Europe are the leading regions with 25 and 43 visa-free destinations, while South America is the weakest with only three.
Most key destinations are easy to reach. France and the Schengen area, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, China and Singapore are visa-free, while the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia require an eTA. Brazil is the one exception and requires a visa in advance. Because access is already broad, a second citizenship such as Turkey CIP could add up to 16 destinations, and residency may suit other goals better than extra travel freedom.
Visa-Free Access by Region
Brunei passport holders can enter 111 destinations visa-free or with a simple eTA. Destinations with a green outline have residency or citizenship programs you can explore.
