Head of mission: Mr. Pehin Abdul Rahman, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Cyprus, 29 Nov 2024)
Cyprus is an appealing destination for some Bruneians due to its rich cultural heritage and strategic location in the Mediterranean. The island attracts many international visitors, making it a significant hub for travel and cultural exchange.
Cyprus is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Brunei. It ranks 11th out of 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, indicating a relatively low risk for travelers. However, it is important to note that Cyprus has a higher murder rate (1.3 per 100,000 people) compared to Brunei (0.5 per 100,000 people). According to the Global Peace Index, Cyprus is ranked 86th out of 160 countries, which suggests some concerns regarding safety, but specific data for Brunei is not available. In terms of organized crime, Cyprus scores higher than Brunei in several areas, such as crime networks and foreign crime, but both countries exhibit relatively low levels of organized crime overall. Overall, while there are some safety concerns, Cyprus remains a popular destination for tourists and is generally safe for visitors from Brunei.
