Overview
Work visa for foreign nationals seeking employment in Brunei. Requires Foreign Workers License (LPA) and employer sponsorship. Renewable annually.
The Employment Visa allows foreign nationals to work in Brunei with a registered employer. The process requires the employer to first obtain a Foreign Workers License (LPA) from the Department of Labour, demonstrating that the required skills are not available locally.
The employee must then pass medical examinations and obtain an Employment Pass. For stays over 3 months, a Green Identity Card is mandatory.
