Timor-Leste Pet Import Requirements

The current trade-portal index now links the correct 2024 Option A form (form_1719372270.pdf): it expressly includes pets, specifies 72-hour arrival notification with import/export document copies, estimates three working days for processing and asks for a quarantine address without a fixed duration. This is a blank application, not entry approval. More consequentially, the government’s joint rabies circular dated 27 June 2025 prohibits transporting dogs, cats and monkeys between municipalities and from abroad into Timor-Leste, by land, air or sea, and states seizure/elimination upon discovery. No lifting or pet exception was verified in this research. The permit form does not override that later restriction. The law directory still says 41/2023 has not yet come into effect, while the form cites it and contains “consignments that comply” wording that requires clarification. Australian Micor’s 2002/2004 dog/cat protocols and their fourteen-day branch do not prove present permission. Obtain the authority’s written current restriction status and any valid species/route approval before arranging pet transport. No definitive import checklist is generated.
