Need a visa? Buy Timor-Leste visa online in just a few clicks!

So, I’ve been planning this trip to Timor-Leste for a while now, and let me tell you, getting the visa sorted was a bit of a headache at first. But guess what? I found out you can actually apply for it online! Yeah, no more dealing with embassies or mailing stuff back and forth.

First things first, I checked if I even needed a visa. Turns out, most folks do, whether you’re going for tourism or business. Better safe than sorry, right?

So I dug around the internet. You wouldn’t believe how many websites there are claiming to help with visas. Eventually, I found the official one. It’s always best to go straight to the source, you know?

Next, I gathered all the documents they asked for. Here’s what I needed:

• My passport. It needed to be valid for at least six months after I planned to arrive, and had at least one completely blank page.
• A completed visa application form, which I filled out online.
• Some passport-style photos. I just took some selfies against a white wall and printed them out.
• Proof that I could afford to leave the country. A copy of my return ticket worked for this.

Once I had all that sorted, I went to the online application portal and started filling everything in. It was pretty straightforward, just basic info like name, passport number, travel dates, and stuff like that. Then, I uploaded scans of all my documents. Double-checked everything to make sure I didn’t make any typos.

The last step was to pay the visa fee. It was 30 bucks, and I paid it with my credit card. After I submitted everything, I got a confirmation email saying they received my application.

Now, I just have to wait for them to process it. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly! I’ll update you guys when I hear back. I am really expecting to get the approval. It should be a simple process. Once approved, I will be a happy camper!
