Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Carry exact USD cash, as change in USD is not always available at the airport counter
  • Common issues include a missing return ticket or insufficient blank passport pages
  • Since ATMs and card payment infrastructure are limited outside Dili, arrange sufficient cash before travel
  • Extensions should be requested at the Migration Department in Dili a few days before the current permit expires
  • Check current entry requirements before travel, as procedures at Timor-Leste's smaller border posts can vary from the main airport
