🇨🇳 Does a Chinese need a visa for Brunei 🇧🇳?

Visa-free · up to 14 days

No. Chinese passport holders can visit Brunei without a visa for up to 14 days.

Rule updated from Wikipedia's “Visa requirements for Chinese citizens” (checked 2026-10-04); the older passport-index dataset (January 2025) listed Visa on arrival. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Brunei or its official government website before you travel.

What this means for your trip

Visa-free entry lets you arrive with a valid passport and pass border control without applying in advance.

Border officers can still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay, and they decide on entry. The stay limit applies per visit; many countries also cap total days within a period.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
