Malta → Timor-Leste: Short-stay tourist

Whether you need a visa at all, according to official sources.

You likely don't need a visa

You don't need a visa to visit Timor-Leste as a tourist. The Migration Service of Timor-Leste lists your nationality as visa-exempt under the short-stay visa waiver agreement between Timor-Leste and the European Union (signed 26 May 2015), for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. It covers tourism and other short visits, but not travel to carry out paid work. You still need to meet the basic entry conditions: a passport with at least six months' validity left on your entry date, funds and accommodation sufficient for your stay, and the online arrival declaration (submit it up to three days before you travel and keep the QR code or PDF to show at the border). If you want to stay longer than the exemption allows, or to work, you need the appropriate visa or permit.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
