Your Posting to Brunei - a families guide to living in Brunei

Brunei is a small Islamic Sultanate on the north–west coast of Borneo. As a garrison it is an isolated station in a challenging environment, but a unique and exciting one.

An assignment here provides the opportunity to work with the Gurkha's and experience their traditions, customs and celebrations. The travelling opportunities are amazing and if you are the kind of family that likes to have adventures and explore, this is the posting for you. Due to its location in the middle of Asia, places you may have only read about before will become potential holiday destinations when Covid restrictions lift 

British Forces Brunei is located in the south-west area of Brunei, 120 km away from the capital Bandar Seri Begawan. Though it’s a small country, there is limited public transport and a car is a necessity… and two are recommended.

Top tip: it goes dark by 6.30pm every night, and as both the children and serving soldiers have early starts, it is an early night most days.
