Brunei publishes updated permanent-resident category guidelines
Starting 31 December 2024, Brunei's Immigration and National Registration Department (JIPK) shared updated guidelines and eligibility requirements for the categories of application for permanent resident status. Where permanent residence was previously described only as discretionary and typically taking around fifteen years, the published categories now set explicit qualifying periods - up to twenty years of residence or marriage depending on the applicant's tie to Brunei. Foreigners hoping to settle in Brunei are affected.
