I was just offered a job in Brunei in July. I have been living with my girlfriend for 3 years in China and she is Chinese. I am now in Canada and will fly from here.
She is considering joining me next year (January, 2016).
Brunei is very strictly Muslim, so she will receive no recognition as your partner because in Muslim countries you must be married to obtain a dependent visa. She can only be a tourist.
Gravitas is correct. It is a strict muslim country The penalty for living together; $4000 fine and / or 1 year in prison. I got this after a quick Google search.Â
