Hi all,

is it difficult for expats to open a bank account in Brunei ?

Which documents are required to open a bank account in Brunei ?

How long does it take to open it ?

Is there any restriction for expats regarding the services (loans for instance) ?

Which bank would you recommend ?

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Julien

Luckily Its Easy To Open A Bank Account In Brunei Thanks To FDI..
You Will Need Your Valid Passport, If Your Employed In Brunei Then A Letter Of Reference From Your Current Employer.a Nice Smile To the Opposite Sex Dealing With You And About One And Half Weeks For Your News.

As For Which Bank? Some Wise Man Said The Best Bank Is The One That Lends U $.
To Get A Loan Again You Need A Letter From Your Current Employer Stating How Much You Earn.If The Amount Is Significant Then The Usual Guarantor Is Ur Best Friend.

You Have The Two Major Foriegn Banks Standard Charter And HSBC.those Are More Expat Friendly . If U Are Lacking In Paper Work STANDARD CHARTER Is Your Choice.
