Frequently Asked Questions
Timor-Leste generally issues a standard short-stay visa that covers both tourism and short business visits. If your visit involves longer-term business activities or work, you may need to apply for a specific business or work permit through the immigration service. For short business meetings or conferences, the standard visa on arrival or e-Visa is typically sufficient.
You can contact the Timor-Leste Servico de Migrasaun through their official portal at migracao.gov.tl. Since there is no Timor-Leste embassy in Pakistan, it is recommended to apply via the e-Visa portal or seek guidance from your business host in Timor-Leste.
