East Timor
Travel Guide
ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: Occupying 5,743 square
miles on the eastern half of an island in the Timor Sea between Indonesia
and Australia, East Timor has a population of approximately 925,000 people.
East Timor became independent on May 20, 2002, and is now a democratically
governed, independent nation with an elected President and Parliament.
In the violence that followed East Timor’s 1999 independence referendum,
its infrastructure, never robust, was totally destroyed and has been only
partially rebuilt. In April 2006 violence erupted again in and around the
capital, Dili, resulting in further damage to infrastructure. Electricity,
telephone and telecommunications, roads and lodging remain unreliable,
particularly outside of the capital. East Timor's economy relies largely on
international assistance and revenues from oil and gas production.
A passport valid for six months beyond the intended date of departure
from East Timor is required. Tourist visas are not required prior to
arrival, but travelers arriving in East Timor without a visa will need to
pay a $30 fee for the 30-day visa. There is an additional fee for each
30-day renewal of this tourist visa. Visitors traveling via air must transit
either Darwin, Australia or Bali, Indonesia en route to East Timor.

Medical & Life Insurance
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Although
limited emergency medical care is available in Dili, options for routine
medical care throughout the country are extremely limited. Serious medical
problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to Australia,
the nearest point with acceptable medical care, or to the United States, can
cost thousands of dollars.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling in East Timor are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S.
Embassy or Consulate through the
State Department’s travel
registration website so that they can obtain updated information on
travel and security within East Timor. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. By
registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy or Consulate
to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at
Avenida de Portugal, Praia dos Coqueiros, Dili, East Timor, Tel: (670)
332-4684, Fax: (670)331-3206.
