What do I need to know before moving to Brunei?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Brunei, they said...

"Brunei is a small country located on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is a Muslim-majority country and the official language is Malay. Expats should be aware that Brunei is a conservative country and should respect local customs and traditions. It is important to note that alcohol is prohibited in Brunei and public displays of affection are frowned upon. Expats should also be aware that Brunei is a relatively expensive country to live in, and the cost of living is higher than in many other countries in the region. Additionally, Brunei has a tropical climate with high humidity and temperatures, so expats should be prepared for hot and humid weather. Finally, expats should be aware that Brunei is a relatively safe country, with low crime rates and a strong sense of community," remarked another expat who made the move to Brunei.
