  • Typhoid – Typhoid, a potentially life-threatening illness caused by Salmonella Typhi, spreads through contaminated food and water in areas with poor sanitation. To prevent it, practice good hygiene and safe food and water precautions.
  • Hepatitis A – Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection transmitted through contaminated food, water, or close personal contact. To prevent it, practicing good hygiene and getting vaccinated with the hepatitis A vaccine are crucial steps recommended by the PHAC.
  • Japanese Encephalitis – Japanese encephalitis is a viral brain infection spread by mosquito bites, mainly in rural parts of Asia. It can cause neurological damage and is potentially fatal. The Japanese encephalitis vaccine, given in a series of injections, effectively prevents the disease by stimulating the immune system to produce protective antibodies against the virus.
  • Rabies – Rabies is a lethal disease transmitted through the saliva of infected animals, and vaccination is the key to prevention. Pre-exposure vaccination is advised for individuals at risk, and immediate post-exposure vaccination is crucial if one encounters a potentially rabid animal.
  • Hepatitis B – Hepatitis B, caused by the hepatitis B virus, spreads through infected bodily fluids. While safe practices can reduce the risk, vaccination is the most reliable defense. The hepatitis B vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies, ensuring robust and long-lasting protection against this liver disease.
  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) – Measles, mumps, and rubella are highly infectious diseases, emphasizing the importance of vaccination. The MMR vaccine, given in two doses, is the key to personal and public health safety. It strengthens immunity, minimizing the risk of infection, and is a critical component in halting the spread of these contagious viruses.

There is a risk for Japanese encephalitis in Brunei, depending your itinerary. Many factors can play a role including where you will be staying and the time of year you will be travelling. Consult with a travel health specialist to learn more.

Rabies is another risk in Brunei. The PHAC recommends the vaccine if you plan to take part in outdoor activities or are around animals.

Travellers’ diarrhea can be a concern for those travelling to Brunei. Avoid drinking tap water and eat food that is clean. Consider bring a travellers’ diarrhea kit with you as well.

To find out more about these vaccines, see our vaccinations page. Ready to travel safely? Book your appointment either call or start booking online now.

In case of bug bites, cleanse the area, use anti-itch treatments, and resist scratching to prevent infection. Seek medical help for severe reactions or if symptoms of vector-borne diseases emerge post-bite.

When travelling, prioritize food safety with PHAC’s advice: consume fully cooked foods, avoid raw seafood, and pick clean eateries. Opt for bottled drinks, exercise caution with ice, and practice responsible alcohol consumption. Prevent travellers’ diarrhea by maintaining good hand hygiene and avoiding street food in unsanitary conditions.

  • Dengue – According to the PHAC, dengue fever, caused by a virus from mosquito bites, manifests through fever, headaches, and severe muscle pain. Preventative measures include using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing. While no specific treatment exists, early medical intervention can mitigate severe complications.

Travellers must have a passport with at least six months validity to travel to Brunei for business or pleasure.

Brunei is a country with a tropical climate, which means it is hot and humid all year round, with lots of rain. The average temperature in Brunei is between 25 to 30 degrees.

Bandar Seri Begawan is the capital city and the most popular tourist destination. It has a tropical rainforest climate, which means it has a lot of rainfall all year round. The temperature in Bandar Seri Begawan is around 25 to 30 degrees.

Tutong and Belait are also popular tourist destinations in Brunei. They have the same tropical rainforest climate as Bandar Seri Begawan, but with less rainfall. The temperature in Tutong and Belait is around 25 to 30 degrees.

Travellers going to Brunei need to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Don’t draw attention too much, and report any activity that doesn’t seem normal.

Crimes are usually non-violent and can include burglaries and breaking into vehicles. Victims of crime and domestic violence can contact the Canadian embassy for help.

Women are, for the most part, safe to travel to Brunei. If they are alone, it is best to walk with confidence and dress in clothes that don’t reveal their bodies. The Brunei people are friendly, but women may receive long stares.

Travellers should be on the lookout for scams in Brunei. They should not let people sell them lottery tickets and take them to a casino because it is illegal to gamble. Travellers also need to be aware of shops and marketplaces that sell counterfeit medicine.

Avoid mosquitoes and other bugs

Mosquito-borne infections are a threat globally.Insect-borne disease are a
threat throughout the world.

Travellers have the experience of visiting the Royal Palace on the second, third, and fourth day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. These days are when the palace is open to travellers and citizens alike. People have the chance to meet the Sultan of Brunei and the royal family members. Visitors also have the opportunity to see a piece of history as they enter the palace.

Guests are given a celebratory meal, greeted by the sultan and his wife, and given a gift. Male guests can greet the sultan while women guests can greet his wife with a handshake. The sultan and queen greet at least 40,000 people a day during the Muslim festival of Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

A unique opportunity like this allows travellers to immerse themselves in the culture of Brunei.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Brunei:

  • Currency – You can bring US, Euro, GBP, or AU money and exchange it for Brunei money at ATMs. Singapore money is the same value as Brunei money. It’s a good thing to keep in mind that your bank may receive fees because you are withdrawing money overseas. A better option to avoid fees is to go to a money changer instead.
  • Clothing – Travellers should bring modest clothing when travelling to Brunei. Shorts, miniskirts, and tank tops should be left behind. You can bring slip on shoes or sandals. It’s respectful to the culture that you embrace their laws, customs, and religion.
  • Bug Repellent – You can protect yourself from ticks and mosquitoes by bringing bug repellent. The PHAC advises that you use a repellent that contains 20% or more DEET to protect you for several hours.
  • Packing for Health – Your health is important, especially when you’re travelling to another part of the world. Prescription medicines, over the counter medicines, and a first aid kit are some of the essentials you need to stay healthy and avoid or treat injuries while in Brunei. If you’re planning to be outdoors a lot of the time, a SPF 15 sunscreen is a must on your trip. It will protect you from UV radiation.

The Canadian Embassy’s (High Commission of Canada) mission is to advance the interests of Canada as well as to serve and protect Canadian citizens in Brunei.
