TravelWarnings Warning Travellers are advised against all but essential travel to East Timor. Outbreaks of violence and armed clashes took place in May 2006, but the deployment of international forces to East Timor on 25 May 2006 has seen an improvement in the security situation. However, there are continuing gang related violent incidents in Dili. Travellers should avoid areas around IDP camps (internally displaced persons). Some vehicles belonging to foreign citizens and organisations have been damaged and passengers injured from rocks and darts.

Visitors deciding to travel to East Timor should ensure that they are content with their security arrangements. Visitors should regularly monitor all available information on the local situation, and ensure that their travel documents are up-to-date and readily available in case they need to leave the country at short notice. Visitors should also avoid the areas surrounding government buildings, including the Palacio da Cinzas and Palacio do Governno, refrain from going outside after dark and avoid any demonstrations and large crowds.

East Timor shares with other countries in South East Asia a threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate and against civilian targets.

Tropical cyclones sometimes occur in East Timor.

This advice is based on information provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK. It is correct at time of publishing. As the situation can change rapidly, visitors are advised to contact the following organisations for the latest travel advice:
