Miri to Kota Kinabalu Roadmap with 10 Immigration Checkpoints

Miri – Kota Kinabalu Roadmap
Updated March 2011 by abuadam2006@gmail.com
• Disclaimer: I found this roadmap on the internet when trying to figure out how to get to
Kota Kinabalu (Sabah) from Miri (Sarawak) by road during school holiday in March
2011. What makes this project challenging and interesting is the fact that you have to
cross international borders Malaysia/Brunei 4 times and clear 10 immigration
checkpoints. This happens because of the geography of Brunei which is separated by
Limbang, part of Sarawak state.
• To me this map is comprehensive enough to guide travelers crossing land borders and
clearing immigration and custom checkpoints, despite not up to scale. Some facts were
no longer relevant during my March 2011 trip. So I took liberty in updating this map in
particular the stretches I traveled. I also put some actual site photos.
• Malaysians need no visa going into Brunei, international passport will do. For the rest,
check your visa requirement first. I did not see any Visa On Arrival counter at various
immigration checkpoints.
• All the credits go to the original author, God knows who.

TWO OPTIONS to go Kuala Lurah from
Kuala Belait.
1) HIGHWAY TO JERUDUNG
PARK. REFER PG 3
2) SMALL ROAD VIA LAMUNIN
Note: The simplest is Option 1 as you
drive all the way on the highway until
Jerudong. If you like adventure and like to
see how average Bruneians live, take
criss-cross roads cutting villages. During
my March2011 trip, road - after turning
right to Sg Mitus Kecil - was under
construction, but still passable by
compact car.
