You do NOT need a visa for Vietnam if you hold Brunei passport

Do Brunei Citizens Need a Visa for Vietnam?

No, for short stays. As of 2026, Brunei citizens are granted a 14-day visa exemption. You can enter Vietnam for tourism or business purposes without a visa, provided your stay does not exceed 14 days, including the dates of entry and exit.

If you plan to stay longer than 14 days, you must apply for an e-visa before your arrival.

Does Any Exemption Apply?

- The 14-day unilateral visa waiver is the main exemption. It is valid for both short-term tourism and business trips.
- The 5-year visa exemption is available to overseas Vietnamese in Brunei and their immediate family members.

How to Apply for a Visa?

For stays of more than 14 days, Brunei passport holders must apply for a 90-day e-visa through the official portal at evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn. The online process requires a passport data-page scan and a recent portrait photo.

How Much Does It Cost?

Please refer to the table below for Vietnam visa fees for Brunei citizens:

Visa Type	Visa Fee (USD)
14-Day Visa Exemption	Free
E-visa - Single Entry (up to 90 days)	US$25 (~32 BND)
E-visa - Multiple Entry (up to 90 days)	US$50 (~64 BND)

Can I Get a Visa on Arrival at the Airport, or Do I Need to Apply in Advance?

Brunei citizens can receive their 14-day visa exemption stamp directly at the airport free of charge. However, if you need a visa for up to 90 days, you must apply for an e-visa in advance. You cannot upgrade from a 14-day visa-free entry stamp to a 90-day visa at the airport.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Vietnam Visa?

The 14-day visa exemption is granted immediately at immigration. If you apply for a 90-day e-visa, the normal processing time is 3 to 5 working days.

Please note that the Brunei is about 1,0 hours ahead of Vietnam. Be sure to check the time difference carefully to choose the correct application time.

How to Get an Emergency Visa for Brunei Passports?

If you are a Brunei citizen and realize at the last minute that your stay will exceed 14 days, you may apply for an expedited e-visa through a visa agency, which may be processed in as little as 1 to 2 hours.

Do Brunei Citizens Need a Transit Visa?

Generally, no. For a simple transit, you remain in the transit area. For self-transfer situations, where you need to exit and re-check your baggage, Brunei citizens can usually use their 14-day visa-free entry to clear immigration at no cost.
