Alcohol in Timor-Leste: not individually verified

Also known as: booze

We have not confirmed that Alcohol specifically is scheduled in Timor-Leste, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed. Article 2(d) defines "droga" as the plants, substances or preparations covered by Tables I to IV of Anexo II, and alcohol does not appear in any of them; it is also absent from the Table V and VI precursor lists under article 2(e), so on the schedule as printed Lei n.º 2/2017 does not treat alcohol as a controlled substance of any kind. That table-absence is not treated here as a settled negative answer, because the instrument does not close itself: article 3(3) allows the tables to be altered by law or updated in line with changes to the international Conventions, and whether that updating clause self-executes without a further legislative act is not resolved on the text read, so an absence from the 25 January 2017 schedule is bounded to that date rather than closed.

Confirm directly with Timor-Leste’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
