TIMOR-LESTE STUDY TOUR, 10-20 October 2018

– REGISTRATION INFORMATION –

AIIA Victoria proposes to organise a study tour to Timor-Leste, leaving Darwin on the morning of 10th October and returning to Darwin on the 20th, 2018. The tour will be led by Peter McMullin SC, who will be supported by Tom Barber as the Study Tour Intern.

Programme

The study tour has been designed to engage participants in a comprehensive programme of activities ensuring first hand, in-depth insights into Timor-Leste's political history, culture and economy. Briefings will include meetings with the nation's leaders and representatives of many not-for-profit organisations and businesses that have contributed to the nation's development.

Cost

The preliminary cost of the tour is AUD$5,250 per person in shared accommodation (optional AUD$500 single accommodation supplement). This includes accommodation, breakfast, transport in buses and four-wheel drive vehicles where necessary, and English speaking guides. We have endeavoured to secure the best accommodation at each location and rooms generally have ensuite bathrooms and fans/air conditioning. Lunches and dinners are not included, are estimated to cost approximately USD$35 per day and are to be paid individually in cash; rarely are credit cards or ATM’s available outside of Dili. The tour price does not include domestic air fares to Darwin, nor does the price include accommodation in Darwin.

Participation

The tour will be limited to 16 members including the leader. All participants will need valid passports. Australian citizens do not need to obtain a visa prior to arriving in Timor-Leste. Entry visas will be issued to valid passport holders on arrival based on the purpose and period of stay stated by the applicant at the time of entry, and provided entry into East Timor is regarded by local authorities as being for a legitimate purpose. There is a charge of USD$30 on arrival at Nicolau Lobato International Airport for an entry visa. There are no money exchange facilities at the airport. A departure tax of $US10 applies to all departing travellers.

Insurance

Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and we require participants to take out comprehensive medical and travel insurance. You must purchase and provide proof of travel insurance to us at least one month prior to departure.

Visitor: The Hon. Linda Dessau AC, Patrons: The Hon. Sir AC CVO; AC CVO MBE
