Tips for Germany travelers

  • Carry proof of accommodation and onward travel, as border staff may request it despite visa-free status
  • Since there is no Timorese embassy in Germany, arrange any longer-stay visa needs well in advance through Timor-Leste's foreign representations in neighboring countries
  • ATMs and card payments are limited outside Dili - carry sufficient US dollars, Timor-Leste's official currency
  • Register with the German Embassy in Jakarta, which is accredited for Timor-Leste, if staying for an extended period
