How can I obtain a visa when I arrive?

To enter Timor-Leste as a tourist or for business, you must obtain an appropriate visa. In most cases, you can obtain a visa upon arrival. There are different methods for obtaining the visa depending upon whether you are seeking to enter at a land border, or by air or sea at Dili. Travelers must complete an arrivals card (available at the border post), and must also demonstrate: intention of a genuine visit (as tourist or business trip); sufficient funds to support themselves for period of proposed stay without breaching visa conditions; and accommodation arrangements.
