About the Timor-Leste Passport

#34Passport rank
131Mobility score
57Visa-free
66%Of world destinations

Timor-Leste sits at 34th place, a mid-table position for global mobility. Holders can enter 57 destinations without a visa, and the total climbs to 131 once eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa options are included. Europe is the strongest region by far, with 37 visa-free countries, while South America offers just 1.

France and the Schengen area and Singapore are open without a visa in advance. Australia, the United Arab Emirates and China can be reached with an e-Visa. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan and Brazil still require a visa, so trips there call for earlier planning, and 66 countries in total fall into that category. Weighing those gaps against the strengths above gives a realistic picture of everyday travel. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 49 destinations.
