Brunei E-Arrival Card: Registration, Requirements and Tips

Author's Profile Picture
**Brunei Arrival Card**

Brunei keeps its arrival process simple, but Filipino visitors still need to complete the free E-Arrival Card before entering. Philippine passport holders may stay visa-free for up to 14 days. Here is how to register through the INRS portal, prepare the right documents, and complete immigration and customs checks at BWN Airport.

❤️Pro Tip: When planning your visit, consider booking flights to Brunei and Brunei hotels in advance to secure the best rates.

What is the Brunei Arrival Card?

What is the Brunei Arrival Card?

The Brunei Arrival Card, officially called the E-Arrival Card, is an online immigration registration form managed by Brunei’s Department of Immigration and National Registration.

It replaced the former paper Form 19 Embarkation and Disembarkation Form. The card collects information such as:

  • Personal and passport details
  • Arrival and departure information
  • Flight, vehicle, or vessel details
  • Accommodation address in Brunei

The portal uses the term Travel Cards in its menu, but the official document is called the E-Arrival Card.

The E-Arrival Card is free. It is not a visa, immigration pass, customs declaration, or guarantee of entry. Immigration officers still make the final decision at the border. Brunei Immigration has also warned travelers that it has not appointed paid agents to process the form.

✈️ Pro Tip: If you are planning a trip soon, look for flights to Brunei early so you can get better prices and more schedule options.

Do Filipino Travelers Need the Brunei E-Arrival Card?

Yes. Filipino travelers must register an E-Arrival Card before entering Brunei, even when using the 14-day visa-free arrangement.

The requirement applies to foreign nationals entering through:

  • Brunei International Airport
  • Land border checkpoints
  • Ferry and sea entry points

It also applies to children and travelers making a short visit or same-day land border trip. Each traveler’s passport and travel information must be registered.

Who Does Not Need the Card?

The card is not required for:

  • Brunei citizens
  • Transit passengers who remain in the international transit area
  • Passengers continuing to another destination without passing through Brunei immigration

If you leave the transit area, collect checked baggage, stay overnight outside the airport, or pass through immigration, you are entering Brunei and must complete the card.

The official launch notice confirms that the requirement applies to foreign nationals entering by air, land, or sea, with an exemption for passengers who transit without entering Brunei.

Do Filipinos Need a Visa for Brunei?

Ordinary Philippine passport holders can enter Brunei without a visa for a visit of up to 14 days.

You may need the appropriate visa or immigration pass if you:

  • Plan to stay longer than 14 days
  • Intend to work in Brunei
  • Will study in Brunei
  • Are entering for a professional assignment
  • Have a passport other than a Philippine passport

Visa-free entry does not give permission to work. The Embassy of Brunei in Manila confirms the 14-day visa-free period for Philippine passport holders.

When Should You Complete the Brunei Arrival Card?

Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque

Complete the E-Arrival Card before arriving in Brunei.

Brunei Immigration encourages foreign travelers to register early but does not publish a strict rule stating that the portal opens only 72 hours before arrival. A practical time to submit the form is around three days before your trip, once your flight and accommodation details are confirmed.

Do not rely on completing it after landing. Airport internet access may be unreliable, and an incomplete registration may delay immigration clearance.

If your flight, departure date, or accommodation changes, you can update your existing Travel Card through the portal.

What to Prepare Before Starting

Have the following information ready:

  • Valid Philippine passport
  • Active email address
  • Arrival and departure dates
  • Flight number or vehicle details
  • Brunei port of entry
  • Hotel or accommodation name
  • Full accommodation address in Brunei
  • Return or onward travel information

For connecting flights, enter the flight number of the aircraft that will land in Brunei. For example, if you fly from Manila to Kuala Lumpur and then to Brunei, use the Kuala Lumpur to Brunei flight number.

🏨 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to look for Brunei hotels near major attractions to make your sightseeing more convenient!

It was amazing to see the staircase in person, after only seeing it in pictures. Absolutely stunning. I booked a room-only stay, but when I requested extra amenities, they were brought to me right away. The hotel's service is excellent, and the location is superb. It's just a short walk from the station, which made it convenient for both city sightseeing and longer excursions.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Copenhagen. The location by the waterfront was fantastic, with a great atmosphere and easy access to many of the city’s main attractions. The hotel itself was beautiful, the rooms were comfortable, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The only area that could be improved is the arrival experience. For a five-star hotel, I was surprised that there wasn’t anyone available to assist with our luggage. It’s a small detail, but it would make the experience feel even more premium. Aside from that, everything else was excellent, and I would happily stay here again.

Because the passport was lost in the Netherlands, I did not stay at this hotel. . . Because the reservation is a non-cancellable room, so I have consulted the customer service of Ctrip with the attitude of trying it out. The customer service actively helps the communication. Because the time difference is still not answered when the phone is not available, I will send a text message to me at the first time. The hotel agreed to deduct the first night's room rate and the rest was refunded. It was really unexpected and happy! Saved me more than 10,000 yuan in losses! I would like to thank Ctrip customer service and thank you for your understanding! I will definitely choose this hotel again next time! Thank you

Recommended for adult holidays It is relatively quiet because it is limited to adults. Breakfast is also very delicious. The room was large and very cozy. The amenities were very substantial and I was happy to have a toothbrush. I have used the same series of hotels before, but I am glad that the eco and natural amenities are substantial. There are slippers in the room, but I think it is convenient to prepare sandals in the pool. It is highly recommended for those who want to spend a day at the hotel.

The hotel is well-suited for both business and leisure stays, whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or with family. The location is very central, making it easy to explore the city. We especially enjoyed renting bikes from the hotel, which made getting around both fun and convenient. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always available to assist.

When we checked in, the room type wasn't what we booked; it was much smaller. After speaking with the front desk, they immediately switched our room (though they didn't admit it was different, claiming it was the same). The room itself had a minimalist style and was quite clean. The common areas were also decent, and it wasn't too far from the attractions.

I stayed at the hotel for three nights and had a fantastic experience. I was lucky enough to get an upgraded room upon check-in. The room was clean and tidy, and the breakfast was excellent. It's a 15-minute walk from the central station, or you can take bus 17 for two stops to get there directly. The hotel is full of Tivoli Gardens elements and has a children's play area. The restaurant on the 12th floor is also worth a visit. If I return to Copenhagen, I'll definitely choose this hotel again.

🏡 A boutique hotel in Copenhagen with a strong sense of design, and the location is particularly convenient. Hotel Mayfair has a distinct style of its own. The rooms are cozy, and the combination of colors, lighting, and furniture is very comfortable—stylish with a great sense of design, yet never feeling over-decorated. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great place to stay while traveling in Copenhagen. The front desk staff are extremely welcoming, creating a great first impression right from check-in. The location is another major advantage: Hotel Mayfair is very close to Copenhagen Central Station, making travel with luggage convenient. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and small shops nearby, with numerous dining options just a short walk away. It is also very convenient for heading to the city center for shopping or taking public transportation. If you like hotels with a strong design aesthetic that are cozy yet full of personality, and you also want convenient transport and dining, Hotel Mayfair is a highly recommended choice. ✨

**Good budget hotel with convenient self-service options** This is a good option if you’re looking for an affordable place to stay near the city. It’s around 1.7 km from the city center, which takes about 30 minutes to walk. One thing I really liked was the **express self check-in and check-out**, which made the arrival and departure process quick and convenient. They also offer **bicycle rentals**, which is a great way to explore the city without relying on public transportation. Another big plus is that they have a **laundry machine** available for guests to use for a fee. They also provide **lockers for luggage storage**, which is very useful if you have a late checkout or want to explore the city after leaving the room. **Pros:** * Affordable and suitable for budget travelers * Around 1.7 km from the city center * Express self check-in and check-out * Bicycles available for rent * Paid laundry facilities * Lockers available for luggage storage **Cons:** * No hair dryer in the room Overall, it’s a decent budget-friendly hotel with some convenient facilities, especially if you’re planning to explore the city.

Nice hostel right next to the lakes. I stayed in a 4 bed room all female room with a great view (see photo). The room was clean and I had a very nice stay. The only thing to keep in mind is that the bathroom is very small with barely enough space to turn and our lock didn't work very well. However, since you could always see that someone is in the bathroom because of the light through the milk glass door that wasn't an issue. The staff was also very friendly! Overall a very nice stay.

I was very satisfied with Wakeup Copenhagen. Due to a silly mistake by DSB, I missed my flight and was forced to stay in Copenhagen for a night. This hotel was a great place to land – affordable and with a good atmosphere. The room was a bit small but very comfortable, and the view from the window overlooked København H station, which was nice. After checking out at 11 AM the next day, I stayed on the first floor of the hotel until 5 PM because my flight wasn't until 10 PM. No hotel staff bothered or rushed me during that time, and both times I went to the front desk to ask for the restroom key, they happily provided it. I'm very grateful to them; it put a happy end to what started as an unpleasant experience. I will definitely consider this hotel again next time I'm in Copenhagen. Highly recommended.

Hotel in fantastic location, so convenient for sightseeing and a short trip and close to metro. Airport is 25 mins away via public transport . Stayed 2 nights and room was perfect and very comfortable bed. Cleanliness was good except a few stains and things stuck to the headboard. The products in the room felt a little low quality especially the hand and body cream. There was no USB charging in the room. Service generally very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately there were issues both at check in and check out where team members needed to check things on my prepaid reservation and asked me to pay again. Eventually it was sorted but required extra waiting around and confusion. I would have felt bad if this experience would have happened to a less frequent traveller or someone who spoke less English as I was able to navigate the issue. Some more internal training perhaps required for Trip reservations. Overall would stay here again for the location and room but if another close by 4* hotel was at the same price, I’d likely go there instead.

There are three Scandic hotels nearby, so make sure you don't get them mixed up! We stayed at the Scandic Copenhagen, which is a modern high-rise. The rooms are spacious with soft beds, and the large windows offer a great view of people cycling past. Directly opposite is the uniquely designed Planetarium. Bus route 26, just a block away, takes you to the main attractions, which is very convenient. There are excellent Chinese, Japanese noodle, and Vietnamese pho restaurants all within close proximity. It's less than a 10-minute walk to the train station with luggage, and the train ride to the airport takes only 12 minutes. The breakfast spread is extensive, and you can even make your own waffles.

Many double beds in Copenhagen are 1.3 meters wide. As we were a group of three, we opted for a quad room at this hotel, which had two 0.8-meter single beds and one 1.3-meter double bed. The 0.8-meter beds were a bit small, and you'd easily kick off the duvet just by turning over, but it was definitely better than two people sharing a 1.3-meter double bed, which would have been really uncomfortable. The hotel's breakfast buffet was quite varied. The location isn't in the city center, but the surrounding area is new and very pleasant. It's super close to the M4 metro line and the Waterbus terminal, just a two-minute walk away. Getting around was convenient; you only needed one transfer to reach the airport. The hotel offers free luggage storage. You just scan a QR code to place your bags in the storage room and scan again to retrieve them. We had an evening flight, so we checked out in the morning, stored our luggage, went sightseeing, and then returned to the hotel later that evening to pick up our bags before heading to the airport.

The room is near and within 10mins walk from the train station. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The room is small but still acceptable. The breakfast provided are great, especially the fruits that are super fresh and sweet!! Do note that the offerings remain the same for the 3 nights that we stayed there if you are considering longer stays. The greatest disappointment was the washing machine and dryer in the hotel! There is only one washing machine and dryer in the basement, shared by both the guests and hotel staffs. The basement was creepy and smelly. The dryer was extremely ineffective too. After drying for 2 rounds (which meant having to go down to the unpleasant basement for additional trips), the clothes are still wet! We had to hang it up and prayed for the clothes to dry in our room. Can't believe that we had to pay 50DKK for this!

I booked a room without breakfast. The hotel room was tiny, only big enough to open one suitcase at a time. We had to close one just to open the second. It was convenient though, with plenty of places to explore nearby. We pretty much did a whirlwind tour in one day. Taking an Uber with a new member discount was cheaper than getting a taxi from the airport. There were lots of food options nearby, and we even ate at a restaurant Andersen often visited. Every day was expensive though – prices were really high. A bottle of water or soda was around 30 DKK. For breakfast, two burgers, a coke, and fries cost about 290 RMB. Renting bikes for two people for half an hour was over 150 RMB. In July, you don't need to wear very thick clothes; it's much warmer than Iceland, but if it's windy, it gets very breezy. It's best to book things in advance wherever you go. Even the train station toilets charge a fee!

The hotel is in a very convenient location, close to the city centre. All the major tourist attractions are within walking distance, and the surroundings are beautiful and feel safe to walk around. There is also a bus stop right in front of the hotel with a direct connection to the airport, and Tivoli Gardens is extremely close by. The hotel is always busy and lively. I was a little concerned about safety because I had to catch a bus to the airport at 3 a.m., but the bus stop was very close, and there were always people around the hotel area. The staff are also available 24/7. You will be lucky if you get clean, quiet, and considerate roommates. The bathroom is quite small, and I think the lower bunk located right next to the bathroom is probably the most inconvenient bed, as you have to deal with quite a lot of noise. The lockers in the rooms are not large enough to fit a cabin-sized suitcase and can only accommodate a small backpack. You also need to bring your own padlock, and I would recommend bringing slippers as well. The bed itself looked clean, but the storage compartments and the gaps around the bed were quite dirty. However, considering how large and busy the hotel is, I can understand that it may be difficult to keep every area perfectly clean at all times.

I and my son stayed for 3 days (btw 26-29 May ) at a Deluxe Room at 5th floor. Hotel Location was very close to TIVOLI and Central Station. Room was clean and wide. I stayed on ”Breakfast included” basis.. Since I am an omelette or scrambled egg person at breakfast, the breakfast menu was sufficient for me because omelette and scrambled egg they were included under breakfast menu. . However, I've seen same star hotels with much more richer breakfasts of course. 1) Our 5th floor room was reachable via 2 elevators. Firrst you take an elevator and go to 1st floor. Then at 1st floor you walk through a looong coridor. I guess, after this long walk we reach to an additional building of hotel which you cannot understand.. From there you get the elevator again and reach 5th floor. ( I stayed at room 1503 ) 2) Everyday the room was cleaned. 3) The reastaurant staff was very friendly and they were giving service in a very kind way. 4) The reception staff; They did not do anything wrong, but normally I expect a larger smile and more welcoming, energyc, warm attitudes when I step in a hotel. I do not know why I could not feel this at this hotel reception. Secondly, when the Italian male receptionst asked me about my room choice when checking in ( room with a view OR quite room looking at inner garden ), I said I prefer the room with VIEW. However, when I was choosing the room with view, I did not know that room was looking at a street where ROAD CONSTRUCTION was going on. He only told me that street can be crowded only during weekend. I said we will leave until weekend so I thought that I will not be effected from any street noise at a evening. But a CONSTRUCTION NOISE during day that he did not mention was not nice. Overall, it is a nice hotel. But ask where your room is exactly located and ask if you will reach by 1 or 2 elevators. Photos are; from Breakfast and view from my 5th floor room. But down below of this view, the hotel looks at another hotesls' rooms and balconies.

Conveniently located, this hotel is surrounded by many other hotels and restaurants, and it's very close to the Central Station. You can reach the hotel in about 5 minutes if you exit through the back door of the Central Station. Most attractions are within walking distance. The front desk staff are welcoming. The room has a simple Nordic style. My only suggestion is that they should add a water barrier in the shower as the floor outside gets wet every time I shower. All the hotel staff are very enthusiastic, friendly, and enjoy chatting and greeting guests. It's a great hotel and I'd recommend it. However, early in the morning, there are often drunk people making a lot of noise on the street outside. Despite that, the hotel itself is actually quite quiet.

15 - 20min walk away from main attractions. There’s a lake in front of hotel that’s nice.  Hotel drop off point are stairs to go in, take note if you are taking heavy luggage. No aircon in hotel only fan that you can’t adjust speed.  Additional bed for kid charge at 300kr per night.  Family bicycle available for rent at 600kr per day.  Happy hour with free drink from 5-6 pm daily. Artistic interior and nice garden. Also creepy artwork on the wall.  Overall not bad experience, some staff are friendly some are not.

There should be more accurate information about the distance between the Central Station and the Hotel. It must be more than 3km, or at lest feels like this, especially when walking through the narrow and bumpy streets full of people on Saturday evening. Also, it would be nicer if the Hotel stops emailing me so many times before my check-in and after my checkout.

Location is right across the Bella Center conference center, super convenient to attend conferences. The area is about 4 subway stops from downtown, and the hotel is near the subway. Room is spacious, bright and clean. Bathroom is small, with the most annoying sink ever. Rarely seen a sink this small. It’s so small, everything falls off. Service is not so great. The provided iron and ironing board were rusty and dirty and leaked rust water on my shirt when used. Requested a new iron from front desk but it took a while. Hotel has no room service, replaced by a shop downstairs in the lobby. Housekeeping is good but did not give me shower gel for 3 days straight. Breakfast is good.

From the moment I arrived at the hotel, the front desk service was impeccable. They were very friendly and assisted me with everything, especially Santiago and Jonas. The hotel has a great location and the area is quiet. The breakfast offered is good, and you can freely help yourself to water, coffee, or herbal teas. They offer luggage storage where you can leave your bags after checking out. I stayed in a single room; although small, it was sufficient for me. The bathroom had shower gel, shampoo, and a hairdryer, which was a nice touch. My main issue was that the room got a lot of sun and there was no air conditioning. Otherwise, everything was perfect. If I return and my budget allows, I'd definitely stay again.

Close to the city center and the train station, many attractions are within walking distance. Nyhavn is about a 15-minute walk, the Glyptotek Museum is 5 minutes, and the train station is an 11-minute walk away. You can self-check-in without needing to speak English at all. The hotel also has bicycles for rent, which is convenient for getting around. The room is a bit small, but perfectly sufficient for a solo traveler. After all, for a trip in Scandinavia, a price of around 600 DKK (or equivalent) is incredibly good value for money.

The hotel's location is super convenient, right in the city center. The room layout is also great, and the open-air balcony was a pleasant surprise! From the window, you have an unobstructed view of the Trumpeter sculpture, the clock tower, and the entire square. Plus, the hotel breakfast, especially in a high-cost country like Denmark, is absolutely worth it! 😂

This is an older hotel, but all the common areas, including the lobby, restaurant, and corridors, are beautifully decorated. There's even a small garden next to the restaurant, which makes having breakfast there quite pleasant. The room itself is a bit small, and there's no kettle, but the lobby offers free hot water. It's clear they've made efforts to update and improve things to keep up with the times. The breakfast, however, was just okay – the simplest of all the hotel breakfasts I had on this trip, though the bread and cheese quality was decent. So, based on the common areas, it could easily be a 3-star, but the room itself is probably more like 2-star at best.

15-20 minute walk from the central station. Easy to self check in and access the room. Room door card / band can be used for self serve vending machines and bevs around the shared spaces. Bathroom / sauna felt like what you get on a 4 star spa day. Great. Room was great if you’re travelling light, if you have a large suit case or more you might struggle a bit.

Excellent location for exploring the city center, just a short walk from Tivoli Gardens and the pedestrian area. Bike rental is available for about 20 euros a day, which is super convenient for getting around the city. We managed to see a ton of attractions in just one afternoon. There's an Espresso House bar connected to the hotel lobby, perfect for breakfast if it's not included in your stay.

This hotel requires self check-in. The automated room assignment was a triple room. However, after checking in on the first day, I found that it didn't match the photos shown on Trip.com. There was no TV, and the bedside lamp was completely non-functional. When I informed the front desk (which is located in the sister hotel next door, Absalon Hotel), I was told that this room doesn't include a TV (but I later found there was clearly a TV monitor in the room). They claimed Trip.com made a mistake, and the front desk staff were unfriendly. They told me to speak to housekeeping myself about getting the lamp fixed. I had no choice but to contact Trip.com, and the platform was very proactive in helping me. However, the hotel's response was very passive. The hotel didn't even apologize initially and demanded that I bring my luggage downstairs and re-check in, even though I had already stayed one day. It was clearly the hotel's mistake and an act of deceiving the guest, yet they still demanded that I... The hotel's front desk requires going up stairs with luggage, and even after taking the elevator to the floor, there's another short flight of stairs to navigate. This is extremely inconvenient for a family traveling with 32-inch and 28-inch suitcases and backpacks. To experience the fun of different hotels during our trip, I also stayed at the sister hotel next door, Absalon Hotel. It was a complete contrast; the service attitude of the front desk at the two hotels was completely different. This is why I'm giving 'one star for service'!! (I don't even want to give one star).

Beautiful, modern and cozy design. Location is near the city center but it's a 10 min walk from the metro. Service is great, love the happy hour drinks. To be honest the room design is nice but not too user friendly particularly the bathroom. Would've loved more towel racks and surfaces to put stuff in the shower. During our stay there was also construction so the shower was very weak. Wasn't too pleased with that.

Excellent value for money hotel. Very well located, just a few hundred meters from Central Station and Tivoli Gardens in the Vesterbro district. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. They offer a delicious breakfast buffet at a very reasonable price for Copenhagen. The staff is very friendly. They also have bike rentals at a good price and a free luggage storage service. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall nice experience. Stayed in a room for three. Hotel is very close to København H station, just 2 mins walk. There is always someone at the front desk 24 hours a day to assist us. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable, one extra pillow provided. I especially liked the security chain on the door, which made us feel safe. However, the hotel also had some downsides. Since we visited in January when the weather was very cold, the heating in the room was insufficient, making it extremely chilly inside. I sneezed every morning from the cold. And, the bathroom door facing the bed, every time when someone goes to the bathroom mid night, the bright light in the bathroom was blinding. The shower space in the bathroom was also small, and there was no waterproof barrier on the floor to prevent water from spilling out, the entire bathroom floor was slippery after showering. There were three of us, but the hotel only provided two towels and three paper cups, with no toothbrushes or toothpaste. We have to buy it from the front desk for 30dkk. We were also surprised to find that even storing our luggage at the hotel required a fee of 40dkk per hour, so we went to the train station, where we could store our luggage for 24 hours for just 90dkk. If the hotel could resolve the heating issue, I would still recommend it based on its price and convenient location.

The room has such a nice vibe. When we arrived around 6 p., the warm sunlight was pouring into the room, casting soft light over the bed. The afternoon light made the room feel extra cozy and welcoming. The window view was lovely, the room faces a courtyard with green trees, which made it feel peaceful and refreshing. The room has heating, which is great. The hotel doesn’t have a lift, so if you’re carrying large luggage, it might be a bit challenging. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay there.
