Visas

A visa or entry permit is required for a tourist visit, which is issued on arrival at Dili airport. A charge, currently $25.00 is payable in US Dollars cash and the process is friendly and very straightforward.


Getting to East Timor

Presently options are limited, with the capital, Dili, being served by just 2 international airlines.

Probably of most interest to travellers from Europe will be the Indonesian airline, Merpati, daily service from Denparsar, Bali. Almost certainly you will find that an overnight stay will be required in Bali, as the Dili flight departs about 0900am making a same day connection impossible.

As for the second option, perhaps unsurprisingly given Timor’s proximity to Australia, it is a daily flight (certain days of the week, twice daily) from Darwin. Return fares start from A$502.00. Flight time is about 1hr30min. The flight is operated by Air North (www.airnorth.com.au) and may be booked in conjunction with many airlines serving Australia.

A really interesting option to consider for those travelling to Australia or round the world is to look at East Timor as a somewhat unusual and exciting stopover. Tickets are available, such as the popular British Airways/Qantas ‘World Discovery’ fare which will get you as far as Bali and onwards from Darwin. ‘Plugging the gap’ will then be possible by using 2 one-way tickets.

Immunisations

As with travel to most parts of Asia, we strongly recommend that you contact your Doctor’s surgery or a specialist travel clinic for up-to-date information, advice and the necessary vaccinations. We can recommend the Trailfinders Travel Clinic which can be found
at: www.trailfinders.com/clinic.htm


For a visit of less than one month, almost certainly you will be advised to have immunisations against the following: Diphtheria and Tetanus, Hepatitis A and B, Polio and Typhoid. Anti-malaria medication will also be required and the use of a DEET-containing insect repellent is highly recommended.



Travel Insurance

We have a legal obligation to stress the absolute need to have adequate travel insurance, which should be taken at the time your trip is confirmed. These days there’s a huge range of options available and premiums have never been more competitive. Increasingly annual multi-trip policies offer good value for money, but you should compare the level of cover and the activities included with each policy. Please contact us for further details.


Foreign Office Advice

We constantly monitor the advice posted by the British Foreign Office (FCO). In particular we will always advise clients of any travel warnings.

The Travel Advice site makes for interesting reading and was recently quoted as being one of the most frequented travel sites on the web. www.fco.gov.uk

It should be noted that this information applies to British citizens. Other nationals are asked to check the current position of their respective Government.
