    • Check Foreign Office country advice before travelling.  
       
       
    • Local Customs: Respect local laws and customs. Brunei is a Muslim country. You should dress modestly. Topless or nude bathing is both illegal and unacceptable. Drunkenness can lead to arrest.  
       
       
    • Alcohol: Alcohol cannot be legally bought or sold in Brunei. Any non-Muslim traveller from abroad can bring up to 12 cans of beer and two bottles of wine/spirits, but these should be for personal use and must be declared to the customs Officers.  
       
       
    • Drugs: Do not get involved in any way with drugs. Penalties are very severe. Drug offences in Brunei carry heavy fines and sometimes the death penalty. Don’t carry anything through customs for someone else unless you know exactly what it contains.  
       
       
    • Passports and visas: British passport holders coming to Brunei as tourists can stay up to one month without a visa, but your passport must be valid for six months longer than your stay in Brunei.  
       
       
    • Insurance: Get adequate travel insurance, including medical cover. There is some free state medical service, but if you are hurt in an accident or fall seriously ill you may need private care, or perhaps evacuation to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Make sure you are fully covered for private medical treatment and possible emergency medical evacuation.
