Risks, limitations, and uncertainty
Notes on changes, conflicts, and limits.
- Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published
- New program: a five-year, multiple-entry business/investor visit pass (effective 31 Dec 2024, announced to the Legislative Council in March 2025) for foreign owners of a Brunei-registered Sdn Bhd who meet job-creation and tax-compliance criteria; excludes retail/convenience stores, restaurants, laundries, salons and non-Sdn-Bhd businesses, and can be revoked for breaching conditions. Government and news coverage describe only the eligibility categories — no minimum investment figure, stay-to-keep-status rule, fee schedule or family-inclusion terms is published. Brunei permanent residence is described separately (visaatlas.org, low confidence) as slow (~15 years) and discretionary, not a defined outcome of this pass, which is why this is scored as Extended Residency (layer 5) rather than Residency-to-Passport.
