Lesotho
Use our advice together with your own research from reputable sources to plan your trip.
Entry and Exit
Singaporeans may stay up to 30 days in Lesotho without a visa. As visa requirements often change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the nearest High Commission of Lesotho for up-to-date information. There should be at least six months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from Lesotho.
As the only way to Lesotho is via South Africa, do note that South Africa has strict entry regulations for minors (i.e. those under 18 years of age) to prevent child trafficking. Any minor travelling with one parent or without his/her parents must provide certain documentation for entry into South Africa. Please contact the High Commission of South Africa in Singapore for more details.
Safety and Security
Singaporeans who plan to drive in Lesotho should take note of the road conditions. Some rural areas can be accessed only by heavy duty four-wheel-drive vehicles. If you are visiting during the winter months, you should make the necessary preparations to drive on icy roads and to be prepared for road closures due to snow.
If you have been to a region with yellow fever, you will be asked to produce your yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry into Lesotho. You may wish to consult Tan Tock Seng Traveller’s Clinic for vaccinations and medical advice needed for travel to Lesotho.
