Timor-Leste restored its independence on 20 May 2002, making it one of the youngest sovereign states in the world. Roughly two-thirds of its population was born after the referendum that led there.
The clock: Dili keeps UTC+9, an hour ahead of Indonesian Bali to its west and the same as Tokyo far to its north — a deliberate break from Indonesian time.
Dili lies at 125.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+9, is built around the 135°E meridian. The 9.4° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 38 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:38 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+9 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 37m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 37m. The swing between them is 1h. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Dili the sun comes up earliest on 15 November at 06:08, while the latest sunset waits until 30 January at 19:05. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Dili that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
