APEC fast track in Brunei Darussalam

Full memberDesignated only

Brunei's Immigration Department confirms the fast-track lane on its own current site, in Malay: ABTC holders may use the 'laluan cepat (fast track lane)' at the Brunei international airport immigration control post, the economy's sole international airport. Entry is by a multiple-entry visa granted on production of the card, with a three-month maximum stay, under regulations still in force in their 2023 revised edition.

'Designated Only' in the APEC Secretariat's 'ABTC Economy Entry Information' table, BD row, internally dated 18 October 2022: This conflicts with Brunei's own law: the Immigration (APEC Business Travel Card) Regulations, Revised Edition 2023, name no designated port and carry only a schedule of fees. source

Entry mechanism in full: Multiple-entry visa granted on production of passport and card. Brunei's Regulations, reg. 3(2): on first entry the holder 'may be granted a multiple entry visa... and shall render him eligible to a maximum stay of 3 months... for that visit and subsequent visits.'

Airports with an APEC lane

These are the designated ports. Outside this list the card does not admit you.

Where the old record is wrong

Every widely published ABTC airport list descends from one APEC document whose data is from March 2007. These are the points where that document no longer describes Brunei Darussalam.

Questions

Which airports in Brunei Darussalam have an APEC fast-track lane?

1 Brunei Darussalam airport has a documented APEC Business Travel Card lane: Brunei International Airport (BWN).

Is an APEC Business Travel Card valid at every airport in Brunei Darussalam?

No. Brunei Darussalam admits cardholders only at designated ports of entry. Arriving anywhere else, the card does not admit you and you need whatever visa you would otherwise require.

Does the card replace a visa for Brunei Darussalam?

Brunei Darussalam is a full participating member, so a valid card bearing its code on the reverse grants pre-cleared entry — multiple-entry visa granted on production of passport and card. Brunei's Regulations, reg. 3(2): on first entry the holder 'may be granted a multiple entry visa... and shall render him eligible to a maximum stay of 3 months... for that visit and subsequent visits.'. Stays are capped at 90 days per visit.

How this page is checked

Checked 15 September 2026

Every row above was verified against a live source on that date, and each carries the kind of source it rests on. Lane locations, terminal assignments and designated-port lists change without announcement — confirm anything you are about to travel on. Not confirmed: No official Brunei list of ABTC-designated ports of entry was found, despite APEC classifying Brunei 'Designated Only'. Nor is it established whether Brunei's APEC lane serves arrivals, departures or both, or how the card is treated at land borders and seaports. Searched: immigration.gov.bn, the mfa.gov.bn ABTC form, and the full 2023 revised Regulations at agc.gov.bn, which contain no port schedule.
