Timor-Leste Customs describes U.S. tourists as covered by visa-exemption arrangements, while the U.S. Department of State says a tourist visa is required and describes a 30-day visa on arrival. Because these current government sources disagree, VisaDir cannot confirm whether a U.S. passport qualifies for visa-free entry or needs a visa. Contact Timor-Leste Immigration or its embassy before booking and ask for written confirmation.
