Entering Lesotho without a visa

  1. Check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months after arrival and has a blank page for the entry stamp.
  2. Carry proof of onward travel and your accommodation address, as border officers may ask for them.
  3. Get your entry stamp at passport control (up to 14 days).

Most African countries treat all EU passports the same way, but some do not (Mozambique and Rwanda, for example). This page uses the rule for Poland.
