Visa Services
Hours of Operation
Interviews for non-immigrant visas are by appointment only every Friday. Applicants must appear before 9:00am. The process generally takes two to three hours. If the visa is approved, applicants or their representative can usually pick up the passport at 4:00pm on the next business day. This is usually the following Monday, unless there is a holiday. Please note that the Embassy must retain visa applicants' passports during this processing time.
In certain emergency cases, or for students or business travelers who need to travel immediately, the Embassy may process exceptional cases Monday through Thursday. Applicants with an urgent need to travel should contact the Consular Section at consularbrunei@state.gov. Whatever the reasons for travel, applicants must meet all other requirements.
