Hello everyone,
I'm new to the cruising world, but recently purchased a
Ketch with a friend in
Sydney Australia. This June we are planning a trip up the
East coast of
Australia, on to East Timor, and then continuing through the
Indian Ocean. I've been looking into the Visa requirements for East Timor and it seems relatively simple. However, I'm having trouble figuring out if we need a cruising
permit. We are planning on staying in Dili for around a month. I understand that East Timor is independent from
Indonesia, but given the proximity of
Indonesia, would we need a Indonesian cruising
permit?? Any help or knowledge from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
