I have just left the High Commission of Canada, literally, with a statement in Lieu of a Certificate of No Impediment to marry. If you are not Bruneian, you must have this to marry. I needed to show my birth certificate, passport, divorce papers (all originals) and have a brief chat with the Commissioner.  My fiancé is from England; he is required to post  his intention to marry me in the local paper for 21 days,  have a notary provide an affidavit on his behalf to the UK Embassy. Strange considering he is new to Brunei and no one knows him, so why would anyone have objections?  A local paper back home would make more sense but this is the requirement here.  it's not simple - Gretna Green in Scotland is looking better all the time!

Hi LesleyBali,

Need a lot more information before we can assist you.

This important topic. Must married before go to brunei. Brunei will stone to death to unmarried and gay.

In April 2014, a new penal code, the Syariah Penal Code Order (SPCO) was introduced by Brunei to implement elements of sharia law. It instituted the death penalty (by stoning) for adultery, sodomy, rape, apostasy, blasphemy, and insulting Islam.

The Son of the Sultan of Brunei was gay and that in this country is punishable by death.

Prince Azim, the billionaire gay son of Brunei’s terrifyingly homophobic sultan, dies aged 38.

Gay = death
