Documents You Need for a Timor-Leste Visa
The core documents required across Timor-Leste visa and permit applications, plus route-specific extras.
Important
Most Timor-Leste visa and permit applications require a common core of documents: a travel document valid for at least 6 months, a recent passport photo (3x4cm), proof of sufficient funds and accommodation, and evidence of onward or return travel.
Longer-stay and residence routes add a medical certificate confirming good health and a criminal record certificate from the country of origin, along with purpose-specific papers — an employment contract for work visas, a school declaration for students, or consular-certified evidence of family ties for family reunification.
Commonly required
- Passport valid at least 6 months, with a spare page
- Passport photo (3x4cm) and signed application form
- Proof of funds (typically US$100 per entry plus US$50 per day) or a sponsor's letter
- Proof of accommodation and onward/return travel
- For long stays: medical certificate and criminal record certificate
