Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.
Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Kazakhstan, no yellow fever certificate is required: WHO does not list Kazakhstan as a transmission risk. It can still be demanded if you have been in a risk country shortly before arriving.
Driving on a Kazakhstan license
Kazakhstan is party to the 1968 Vienna Convention and Brunei to the 1949 Geneva Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Brunei to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Kazakhstan.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
