Money
Currency: The US Dollar is the official currency. For local transactions, the Indonesian Rupiah, the Thai Baht and the Australian Dollar may also be used.
Currency exchange: Travellers should take plenty of hard currency in cash. Both the Australian ANZ bank and the Portuguese Banco Nacional Ultramarino have branches in Dili. Cirrus/Maestro credit cards can be used to withdraw US Dollars from an ATM.
Credit & debit cards: These can only currently be used in the very few, expensive hotels in East Timor. Check with your credit or debit card company for further details of merchant acceptability and other services which may be available.
Travellers cheques: Travellers cheques are not widely exchangeable. Only some top-of-the-range hotels may be able to exchange them.
Currency restrictions: Information not currently available.
