Bandar Seri Begawan - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the relative size of the expatriate community? How would you describe overall morale among expatriates?
Small expat community; morale seems good overall. It's a small place, with a relatively restrained social environment, so definitely a make your own fun kind of post. - Feb 2025
About 50,000 expats, but most of them are not western. There are probably about 1,000 western expats on the country - total. The morale is very good because of the jungles and peaceful culture. - Jan 2021
Small, but generally welcoming. - Aug 2014
There's a sizable group of expats especially in Kuala Belait where the oil/gas companies are. However, there's only about 400,000 people in Brunei, so even sizable can seem small at times. - Nov 2013
Large. - Dec 2008
Small. Large if you live in Kuala Belait. We see tourists in Bandar sometimes. Where do they come from? - Jan 2008
