Visa requirements for the kingdom of Lesotho were in the habit of changing fairly often, but currently seem a little more settled. Commonwealth citizens, except those from India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Ghana, do not need visas, and nor do citizens of France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the USA. You may find that border officials, particularly at smaller entry points, do not know the new rules, and will demand a visa from you even if you don't need one. There is not much you can do about this, but since visas are available on the spot, and are relatively inexpensive (M20/R20 single entry, M40 multiple entry), you may as well pay up. If you have travelled through a yellow fever zone, you will need an International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever. The standard entry permit is for fourteen days but, should you need an extension , contact the Department of Immigration and Passport Services, Kingsway, Maseru (tel 31 7339).
