Travel - International

Note: Travellers are advised against travel to East Timor, unless they are travelling on essential business (UN operations or relief or reconstruction work). The country is still not entirely stable and personal attacks are on the increase, both by day and by night. Terrorism may be a threat. All travel is difficult outside of the capital, Dili. For further advice visitors should contact their local government travel advice department.

AIR: Airnorth (website: www.airnorth.com.au) flies daily from Darwin, Australia to Dili. Qantas (website: www.qantas.com.au) also flies to Dili.

Approximate flight times: From Darwin to Dili is 2 hours 15 minutes.

International airports: Comoro Airport (DIL), Dili. Some international flights use Bacau Airport in the province of Bacau.

Departure tax: US$10.

ROAD: Roads and driving conditions are very poor (including in Dili) and drivers must take extreme caution. To drive, travellers need a valid driver’s licence or permit either from their country or issued in East Timor, and detailing which class of vehicle they are entitled to drive. Third-party motor vehicle insurance is not available.
