Renewing Your Ves Brunei: A Simple Guide

If you're planning to enter or exit Brunei with your vehicle, you'll need to apply for the correct pass. The old pass was the Brunei Vehicle Exit/Entry Online System (VES) which has been replaced by the Brunei Exit and Entry System (EES) Pass. This is an online service for anyone driving into and out of Brunei Darussalam. The EES pass can be applied for online and is valid for three months from the date of registration.

Registering your vehicle

Firstly, you will need to create an account on the Brunei EES website. You will need to enter your email address and create a password, as well as filling in some personal details. Once your account is created, you will be sent a 6-digit OTP code to the email address provided to confirm your account.

After this, you will need to log in to your account and click on 'New Pass Application'. Here, you will enter your travel details, including whether you are entering or exiting Brunei, or simply transiting through. You will also need to enter your vehicle's registration number and other details.

Once you have entered all the required information, you will need to agree to the terms and conditions and make a payment. After payment, a QR code will be emailed to you. This QR code can be printed out or saved on a smartphone or tablet and will be scanned when you enter or exit Brunei.

The VES Pass is valid for 3 months from the date of registration. It is important to note that the QR code is only valid for one-time use and must be generated each time you plan to enter or exit Brunei.

Border entry requirements

If you are planning to enter or exit Brunei by driving your own vehicle, you must apply for the Brunei Vehicle Pass (VES) online. This can be done through the Brunei Vehicle Exit/Entry Online System (VES), which is accessible on any device. The VES Pass is valid for three months from the date of registration.

The VES Online system is designed to facilitate and expedite the application and approval process for vehicles exiting or entering Brunei's border checkpoints. To do this, a QR code system has been introduced, which can be scanned at the border to cut down waiting times.

To apply for the VES Pass, you must first register on the website by creating an account with your email address and personal details. Once your account is set up, you can log in and apply for a new pass, ensuring you choose the correct border entry/exit and route of travel option. After entering your travel details, you will need to register your vehicle information, including the registration number and other relevant details.

Finally, you will be required to make a payment, after which a QR code will be emailed to you. This can be printed out or saved on a smartphone or tablet to be scanned at the border when entering or exiting Brunei.

It is important to note that the QR code is only valid for one-time use, and you will need to generate a new one each time you plan to cross the Brunei border.

Payment methods

Once you have entered all the required information, you will be prompted to make a payment. The payment methods accepted for the Brunei Vehicle Pass (VES) are online via credit/debit card or bill payment services through online banking. Alternatively, you can pay over the bank counter at BIBD by referring to the bill reference provided.

After making the payment, a QR code will be sent to your registered email address. You can then print out the QR code and follow the guide on how to cross the Brunei border using your vehicle.

Please note that cash payments are not accepted at the control posts. If you wish to pay in cash, you must do so at a bank counter.

The VES pass is valid for three months from the date of registration.

VES pass validity

The Vehicle Exit and Entry System (VES) has been replaced by the Exit and Entry System (EES). The new EES QR code must be generated every time before exiting or entering Brunei Darussalam. The validity of the QR code depends on the type of travel selected and the number of control posts chosen during the travel application.

For Brunei-registered vehicles, the validity of the QR code will depend on the vehicle license expiry date. For foreign-registered vehicles, the QR code will only be valid for three months from the date of registration of the Travelling Pass or the vehicle license expiry date if the date is less than three months from the registration date of the Travelling Pass.

If an applicant has selected the type of travel as "One Way" at one control post, the generated QR code will only allow for one-time scanning. After the QR code is scanned at the control post, it will not be valid for the next trip. Applicants are reminded to ensure that the person(s) joining the trip must be the same as those whose details were registered for the travel application. If there are any changes to the travellers, a new travel application must be made and a new QR code obtained.
