The Australian Embassy in Dili wishes to advise that a closed ballot tender will take place on the weekend of 18-19 October 2025 for the sale of existing fleet vehicles. This will include five (5) vehicles.
Please note: as these vehicles were originally purchased duty free, the successful buyer will be responsible for paying any applicable local taxes as required under local regulation, unless you are able to demonstrate you are covered by a duty exemption.
