Going from Miri to Lawas by road, do you have to across Brunei to get there? do you have pay for toll or have passport?

Need to go around it. Try driving through the National Parks.

You can't. They tell you to pump at special foreigner pump with marked up price.

issued temporary passing vehicle i think

Need to pass 8 border check point to get to Lawas

Good luck if u plan to make it in the weekend

Through, going around it is an option taken only if Brunei got zombie apocalypse

need to go through like several check point which will take hours
thn u cannot even have tinted on your car else have to add saman

go through Brunei is shit.. they will saman u if ur windows are tinted.. mmg ccb punya

Oh ..3 dollar to pass Kuala belait bridge for Malaysian registered car

And If u intend to refuel car at nearby border , they cap at 5 dollar

Petrol station nearby highway won't entertain you

don't worry, its a short drive from miri to lawas, just make sure you have the following:
1. car fuel is enough - fill in malaysia side; if you fill in brunei side; you will pay the marked-up price at a special pump; dont do it unless emergency
2. car registration for brunei custom done online nowadays - save the QR code onto your phone; via screenshot and put your phone screen brightness to max when scanning at border later
3. toll is BND/SGD 3 at kuala belait
4. if you are not sarawakian; make sure to bring the sarawak entry slip or the dokumen perjalanan terhad along to exit malaysia border
5. car tint is not allowed in brunei - depends on your luck - summon is 50 BND; and yes... even the default new car UV tint also will kena... as long as you wind down the window and got a tint layer, police will summon... all brunei car have ZERO tint... except for the "special" folks

pm me if you need more info... enjoy the drive!

dont forget to register your vehicle pass on9 and print it out. Later need to scan at the border.

My car dont kena pun.. 50% vlt summore.. lol.. just did KK-SIBU .. make sure u dont have the tint strip on top of windscreen tu..

Fuel 1 tank can do round trip laa..

hahahaha u have better luck than me i guess... my 4wd only got the default UV tint... 50 bnd gone
the check-point is in between KB and Seria though... on the main highway

Brunei car allowed to tint already. But not very sure how is it applicable to Msia car on enforcement

not all petrol station allowed to sell petrol to car with foreign car plate. ada pun selling hiked up price

just pump full at miri, u can reach lawas with half of ur fuel still there

need passport and pray if ur car got tinted, there is no road block at brunei

if there is, prepare to fork out rm180 malaysia ringgit or brunei 50 dollar to pay the summon on the spot.

no excuse, even light tinted also kena

and dont forget to apply for car document in here

http://www.bdnsw.gov.bn/Pages/VehiclePass.aspx

yours news is February news.. while us here always using the road and recentlly some of my friend all kena sapu and bayar rm180

dont trust your news folks.. brunei strict

u tak kena road block.. u kena u pay.. at border no one check.. but if u kena check, padam mukak u.. they scracth ur tinted a bit so u need to tanggal it later.. lol

Yap.

7 border checklist lulz.

Good luck man esp crossing brunei.

Just slide down 4 windows. No need to use air conditioner.. Problem solve?

bring passport & money. all along brunei, dont speed2. follow the limit, police is everywhere..

Lmao true

Multi-quote ur reply la.. easier to read..

Maybe i am lucky these 7 year.. if sangkut what to do la.. ganti whole car tint when back home..

nope they will still check and ask u to slide it up

and u only tinted the door window ah? how about the main and the front?

topkek

yeah im lucky too.. never kena because my car not tinted ... lol... every now and then, when roadblock they only warn me on the front cermin ... the one that .. aiya i dunno what to call it.. ada atas depan cermin tu.... shade... that one also cannot actually, but they gave warning only la..

if ur car tinted, even brunei car also no excuse for them.. rm180 terbang..

and don't forget to drive according to the limit.....nowaday brunei very active with their speed traps, not like 3~4 yrs ago where u can speed like hell on those empty highways.

Rip tinted window

Just fly in bro

this is nice info man thank you

Bring passport and vehical pass. Its an easy ride/drive. Use the Seria by pass (new) highway. Dont use the old one. Lots of pothole.

i work in brunei too.. crossing the border is a weekly affair for me. so far im lucky nvr encounter roadblock.

They ban public smoking and tobacco import so be careful if ure a smoker

oh thats why u no believe the case lol... it happens to car infront of me and at the back too... and friend also kena, lucky me coz my car got no tinted..

Yep need passport and Brunei dollar to pay for bridge troll which is 3 dollars for one way (so 6 dollars if you go and returnO. Bring around 10 dollars just to be safe.

For passport, starting from Miri you will encounter passport booth about 8 times (Miri-Brunei-Brunei-Limbang-Limbang-Temburong-Temburong-Lawas).
