How long can I stay, and can I extend it?

No vaccinations are mandatory for entry to Timor-Leste. Health authorities recommend certain vaccinations; follow your doctor or travel clinic advice on recommended immunisations for travel to Timor-Leste.

Travel insurance is recommended but is not required for entry.

What should I do before I travel?

Before you travel, make sure your passport (or temporary passport) is valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of entry into Timor-Leste.
