Proof of sufficient funds for the stay (bank statement or cash). Travel insurance covering medical expenses and repatriation.

Watch out for

• Uploading a passport photo that does not meet the e‑Visa photo requirements can lead to rejection. Relying on an e‑Visa approval that is not kept in a readable form can cause problems at the border. Assuming you can enter without any other documentation; a traveler's health record or vaccination proof may be requested. Not checking the expiry of your passport and the e‑Visa validity before departure.

Good to know

• Lesotho’s currency is the Loti (LSL); most tourist areas accept credit cards but cash is handy in remote places. English is widely spoken, especially in Maseru and tourist spots. The country has good mobile coverage and Wi‑Fi in hotels, but connectivity may drop in rural highlands. Safety: Lesotho is generally safe for tourists, but pickpocketing can occur in crowded places; keep valuables secure. Roads in the highlands can be winding and weather‑dependent; plan travel times accordingly.
