The 60-second version
Timor-Leste exit needs employer tax certificate and RDTL compliance letter. I export social security statements, close USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for petroleum payroll.
RDTL clearance before closing Dili payroll account
Timor-Leste taxes residents on employment and business income — obtain salary tax reconciliation and tax ID clearance from Revenue Service before departure.
Petroleum Bayu-Undan and humanitarian payroll common in Dili — retain employer settlement; most salaries are USD-denominated.
