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 for stays of up to 30 days for tourism, as long as your passport is valid for 6 months past your entry date. 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.
