I travel over the boarder into a neighbouring country to purchase my food and just about everything else. Anyway I've secured work in Aus so I leave very shortly. If you can name 1 ex-pat who has settled in Brunei long term I'll be impressed. Read More

@sandraenglandlondon - you are a bit off topic. your comment doesn't help. ;)Maybe I didn't make it clear. Most petty crimes are here are done by people who actually know others. You befriend some locals, they have this perception that westerners ... Read More

IMPORT THE CAR FROM UK TO BRUNEI by jasaleale
I am moving to Brunei soon. I am planning to bring my own car in Brunei, But I have no idea about tax rules and regulation and apply the clearance certificate from port to import the car in Brunei. Has anyone got information?
