Timor-Leste
For a stay of less than 90 days, for a maximum period of 180 days, a visa is not required. Only the presentation of a valid passport at least six months after the planned entry date to East Timor is required. This exemption also applies to stays related to paid activity.
For any stay longer than 90 days, you should consult the website of the East Timor Immigration Service or contact the nearest diplomatic representation in your country of residence.

Staying abroad requires every traveler to take certain health precautions. The section below lists the essential guidelines. However, these guidelines do not exempt the traveler from a consultation with their primary care physician and/or at a hospital, sufficiently long before the departure date to allow for vaccine boosters.
Dili has only one hospital and two private clinics, all with limited capacity. Outside the capital, no medical facility can provide optimal care. In the event of a major volcanic eruption, flights may be suspended over a wide area, thereby blocking any possibility of transfer to a hospital by air.
Yellow fever vaccination may be required upon entry into East Timor for travelers from endemic countries. Inquire with the nearest diplomatic representation to your place of residence.
Updating the diphtheria–tetanus–polio (DTP) vaccination is recommended, as is vaccination against rubella, mumps, and measles in children. Tuberculosis vaccination is also desirable.
Depending on local travel conditions, vaccinations against typhoid fever and viral hepatitis A and B may be recommended.
Rabies vaccination may also be offered in some cases, depending on conditions and place of stay. Seek advice from your doctor or an international vaccination center.
For stays in rural areas, a Japanese encephalitis vaccination may be necessary.
