Time zones in Indonesia and nearby countries; Timor-Leste is visible at lower right.

Timor-Leste uses UTC+09:00. In the west the country borders the UTC+08:00 zone of Central Indonesia and in the east the UTC+09:00 zone of Eastern Indonesia. Daylight saving time is never observed in Timor-Leste, due to its proximity to the equator; there is only a small variation between the length of day and night throughout the year. Timor-Leste shares the same time zone with Japan Standard Time, Korean Standard Time, Pyongyang Time (North Korea), Eastern Indonesia Standard Time, Palau Time, and Yakutsk Time (Russia).
