Timor-Leste passports are issued to citizens of Timor-Leste to travel internationally. Until the UN finished its transitional work in East Timor, residents had to use a UN travel document to visit other countries until 2002 when the country officially became independent from UN control. [1]
Timor-Leste has begun to issue biometric passports on 6 June 2017. [2]
