Lesotho: eVisa Portal Temporarily Suspended

Due to security infringements, the Lesotho Ministry of Home Affairs has temporarily suspended the eVisa portal until further notice. Affected eVisa nationals must therefore either apply manually for a visa at the Department of Immigration; or email their completed forms with supporting documents to [email protected] at least five business days prior to travel to Lesotho. Upon approval, the Department of Immigration will notify and issue a letter via email that is required for entry into Lesotho at the Moshoeshoe I International Airport or Maseru Bridge, which is valid for 72 hours. During this 72-hour period, the traveler must appear in person at the Department of Immigration to pay for their visa-on-arrival. After paying, the traveler’s passport will be endorsed. Is it not clear when the portal will become available.
