Hi All,

I'm a lawyer currently working in the mining and resources sector in Perth Western Australia. I'm interested in working in Brunei for a few years. Does anyone have any tips for finding work there, I'll be there for a wedding tomorrow until Monday 26 May, is there anywhere I can visit while there to look for vacancies?

Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I've now determined that law degrees from Australian universities are recognised in Brunei but to work as a lawyer in Brunei one needs to be a permanent resident or have practised in a common law jurisdiction for 7 years.

I have scoured the websites for the Bruneian government but can find no information on applying for permanent residency in Brunei. Does anyone know the requirements for permanent residency? How long does one have to have worked in Brunei in order to be eligible?

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
