Frequently asked questions

Does a Brunei job order on SISKOP2MI mean I will surely go?

No. A job order shows an official vacancy under a P3MI's name, but you still have to pass the selection, and the employer in Brunei must obtain a Foreign Worker License and a Foreign Worker Visa for you. Do not pay anyone who promises you a departure.

Can I go to Brunei as a tourist and look for work there?

Not as a legal route. Article 13 of Law 18/2017 requires a work visa, placement agreement and employment contract before placement, and according to the Government of Brunei the Foreign Worker Visa is applied for by the employer with the licence and a Department of Labour job order. Indonesia's Ministry of Manpower lists travelling on a visit or tourist visa as a sign of an overseas job scam.
