## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Brunei: Category D3 ordinary-passport 14-day visa waiver** (Visa-free)
  The live MFA country schedule assigns these ordinary passports to Category D3, whose conditions expressly waive a visa for up to 14 days.
  - The D3 waiver is up to 14 days. A visa application is required for a longer stay and for business visits; no work, residence, professional visit or extension right is established.
  - The statutory Schedule 3 exemption remains subject to conditions the Controller of Immigration may impose. Kosovo is expressly added to that schedule by the 2026 Gazette amendment, and the current MFA schedule places its ordinary passport in D3.
  - E-Arrival Card registration is a declaration, not an ETA or visa authorization. A recognised passport with at least six months’ validity and individual admissibility conditions apply.
