Brunei: BFB Spousal Employment
In Dec 2024 the UK and Brunei Governments updated the Exchange of Notes (EoN), which included provision for increased employment opportunities for BFB spouses. BFB spouses are now eligible to be legally employed and hold a work visa (Green Card).
Spousal_Employment_Flow_Chart_BFB-OS provides a guidance regarding the process but it is the individuals’ responsibility to find a suitable job, apply and secure employment.
