Brunei

Brunei is one of the 193 UN member states, in South-Eastern Asia. UN Tourism counted 4.4 million international arrivals there in 2019, more visited than 63% of the 199 places with figures, so its stamp in Globestamp is printed in Colour-shift.

The Brunei stamp

Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Brunei’s is Colour-shift: one colour straight on, another at an angle, the finish for places with 2 to 6 million visitors a year. With 4.4 million international arrivals in 2019, Brunei is more visited than 63% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.

What counts as a visit to Brunei

The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Brunei when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. With a single airport with scheduled flights (Brunei International Airport, BWN), photos only at the airport make a transit stamp, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.

Places in Brunei you can collect

Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Brunei.
