Aevamo’s reading
The Law of Migration and Asylum 11/2017 (as consolidated by Law 10/2021) creates the obligation itself: Article 13(1) requires every foreigner entering Timor-Leste to hold a valid visa, Article 35 sets the tourist-visa validity of thirty days, and Article 44(4) creates the visa-on-arrival mechanism. The ministry pages describe this law's operation rather than creating the obligation.
The Migration Service FAQ states that travellers of all nationalities not subject to a separate visa-waiver arrangement may obtain a Tourist Visa on arrival, valid 30 days and extendable once; every issuer not covered by a visa-exemption row therefore enters on arrival with a 30-day stay.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
