Overview
Lesotho's passport opens many African destinations visa-free, especially in southern Africa. Asia and Europe offer fewer doors, so longer trips need visas.
Before you go
This is a landlocked country, so you reach it overland through a neighbouring state.
In the southern hemisphere, the warm season is December to February.
Check the visa list below for your passport, and confirm rules with the embassy before you book.
Arrange vaccinations, insurance and a return ticket ahead of a long trip.
