Brunei: Guide to renew your passport – British passport holders


1. Submit your passport and a passport size photo to the Regimental Admin Officer (RAO) for a Special Pass. If the passport belongs to your spouse or child, a copy of the head of family’s passport and OGS must also be attached.

The Special Pass will be issued by KB Immigration and acts as a legal document for you to stay in Brunei while waiting for your new passport to arrive.

The Special Pass is valid for one month from the date it was stamped. If the new passport hasn’t arrived within one month, you are required to submit the Special Pass back to RAO for an extension. Please do this before the Special Pass expires.

The Special Pass cannot be taken out of Brunei.

2. Follow the instructions on the link to Renew Passport Online

It costs £88.50.

You’ll need:
  • a digital photo
  • a credit or debit card
  • your passport

3. When your new passport arrives, please submit it to RAO, together with the old passport and the Special Pass, making sure the Special Pass date is still valid. The OGS will be transferred to the new passport.


Notes:


If you renew your passport in your country of origin while on holiday, you must bring back your old passport to Brunei. Please make sure the entry stamp is shown in the new passport upon arrival at Brunei International Airport.

You are not required to cancel your OGS when renewing your passport.
