The media conference also highlighted on the updated exit-country guideline, which is the requirement to be fully vaccinated with a third dose or booster dose for Brunei Darussalam citizens and residents, and those who intend to return to the country. This has been extended to individuals aged 12 to 17 who intend to travel out of the country starting 15th May 2022.

Taking into consideration the effectiveness of ART testing in detecting active infections among individuals, as shown by data analysis (concordance and Negative Predictive Value), local statistics have shown that there is no difference in infection risk between those arriving from countries under the Travel Green List, TGL and those arriving from non-TGL countries, as well as the coordination of health protocols in the country, whereupon cross-border travel protocols will be updated and subsequently implemented starting 6th May 2022. Cross-border activities through land and sea control posts are still not permitted, except for essential purposes only. However, citizens and permanent residents of Brunei Darussalam returning to the country via land or sea from essential travel are allowed to undergo self-isolation at home or at hotels.
