Brunei is open to leisure tourism and currently looks low-risk from a security standpoint, with no credible signs of conflict or unrest. The main friction is practical: visa/entry rules by passport, mandatory travel paperwork, and strict local laws. Tourism is still growing, but the country remains a niche destination with modest infrastructure and weather-related disruption risk.
