Dili - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the relative size of the expatriate community? How would you describe overall morale among expatriates?
Good morale. A couple thousand Europe, Australia, South America, and US expats. - Aug 2021
The American community is pretty small, but you'll love the Aussies, Kiwis, and expats from all over Asia that you'll meet. There's also a good-sized Portuguese population. Morale is actually really good. This is laid-back island life at its best. - Sep 2017
Pretty good size for the island. I love the expats here who are mainly Australian, New Zealanders (Kiwis), Asian and some Europeans. They all seem to make the best of being here and are a joy to be around. - May 2017
