Section 46
Repatriation
(1)
Any person residing in Brunei Darussalam who —
(a)
is not a citizen of Brunei Darussalam;
(b)
is by reason of destitution, infirmity or mental incapacity, unable to obtain employment or to support himself and his family, if any;
(c)
is unable to pay the cost of his passage and of the passages of the members of his family, if any, to the country of his birth or citizenship; and
(d)
is or is likely to become a charge upon the public or a charitable institution, may apply to the Controller for the repatriation of himself and his family, if any, at the cost of the Government.
(2)
Upon such application, if the Controller is satisfied, after such enquiry as he deems necessary, that such person has or is about to become a charge on the public or on a charitable institution and is unable to pay the cost of the repatriation of himself and his family, if any, and that no government, organisation, company or person is liable or willing to pay such cost of repatriation, the Controller may authorise the payment of such cost subject to the condition specified in subsection (3).
(3)
Any person repatriated at the cost of the Government shall enter into an undertaking in such form as may be prescribed, that he will not return to Brunei Darussalam without the consent in writing of the Controller.
The consent shall be conditional upon such person refunding to the
Controller all costs and charges incurred in the repatriation of such person and his family, if any, and shall be subject to such other conditions as the
Controller may deem expedient.
(4)
Any person who has been repatriated at the cost of the
Government under this section who enters or attempts to enter
Brunei Darussalam without the consent of the Controller under subsection (3), or who having entered Brunei Darussalam with such authority, fails or neglects to comply with any condition upon which the consent was given, is guilty of an offence.
