Why this verdict
Swedish citizens' entry guidance is based on the explicit Timor-Leste visa-waiver cohort (EU/Schengen-linked visa waiver listed by Timor-Leste Immigration). This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short-stay tourist/business-style visits only. Paid work, residence, study, diplomatic/service passports, land-border authorisation, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.
Conditional rules
- Ireland or United Kingdom passport, paid activity, or stay outside the 90/180 short-stay limit Visa on arrival
Up to 30 days. Timor-Leste Immigration explicitly excludes Ireland and the United Kingdom from the EU/Schengen-linked waiver, and the waiver does not cover paid activity.
