DILI, 12 March 2025 (TATOLI) – The Council of Ministers approved a Decree-Law, presented by the Minister of the Interior, Francisco da Costa Guterres, on the new organic law of the Migration Service.
“This reform arises from the need to modernize the structure responsible for border control and managing migratory flows in Timor-Leste. Its goal is to ensure greater efficiency in managing migratory flows, strengthen national security, and respond to current challenges, such as increased human mobility and stricter border control,” said in a statement.
With the new organic law, the Migration Office will have an Executive Director and two General Directors responsible for operational and administrative areas, ensuring more agile and effective management.
“The internal structure will be reorganized into three specialized National Directorates and seven technical offices to promote greater specialization and efficiency,” the statement concluded.
