Brunei Darussalam has introduced a Long-Term Pass (LTP) policy to attract foreign investment and skilled professionals, ensuring a more business-friendly environment.
Minister of Home Affairs Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Ahmaddin bin Haji Abdul Rahman announced the initiative during the 21st Legislative Council (LegCo) Session on Tuesday.
Effective December 31, 2024, the LTP allows eligible foreigners to reside in Brunei for up to five years with a multiple-entry visa. It applies to three categories:
Long-Term Social Visit Pass – For foreigners with family ties to Brunei citizens and permanent residents who do not yet qualify for permanent residency.
Long-Term Professional Visit Pass – For foreign experts in fields where Brunei lacks skilled professionals, based on government assessments.
