On 1 June 2024, the Royal Thai Embassy in Dili organised a seminar to share information about its consular services and exchange views on the matters with the Thai community in Timor-Leste. This event took place in Atauro Island where the Thai community participated in volunteer activities to celebrate the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King’s 6^th Cycle Birthday Anniversary on 28^th July 2024.

The shared information included services on passports, Thai ID cards, and legalisation as well as guidelines for entering and exiting Timor-Leste. This was followed by a session to exchange views on how the Thai community could enhance people-to-people ties with Timor-Leste through Thailand’s soft power tools like cuisine, cultural performances, martial arts and volunteer activities to support local civil society organisations.

H.E. Mr. Atipat Rojanapaibulya, Ambassador of Thailand to Timor-Leste, stated that the Embassy stands ready to facilitate its consular services to the Thai nationals and also cooperate with them to support local Timorese community which would further strengthen people-to-people relations as well as overall ties between Thailand and Timor-Leste.
