Is it safe to visit Timor-Leste? 13:03

6 weeks ago13:03

13:03

When most people think of Timor-Leste, safety is often a concern. That perception is rooted in the country's history of conflict and political unrest, especially surrounding its hard-won independence in 2002. But how accurate is that view today? I spent a year living in Dili, the capital, and travelled extensively around the country. What I found was a peaceful, welcoming place — much safer than I had expected. That’s not to say there aren’t challenges, but most concerns are manageable with some common sense and awareness. My key takeaway from this episode is that Timor-Leste is a safe place to visit, and the chances of a visitor having any issues is very low. This episode is based on my own experiences, conversations with locals, expats, and travellers, and guidance from official sources. It is structured in 5 areas - Current Travel Advisories, Crime & Personal Safety, Civil Unrest & Political Stability, Transport & Road Safety, and Natural Hazards & Health More safety information - https://exploringtimor.com/plan-your-journey-to-timor-leste/#safety Website - www.exploringtimor.com TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@exploringtimor YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ExploringTimorLeste Books - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D82D3TBJ…
