Lesotho

Business visit visa / Work visa

The immigration laws of Lesotho are restrictive. Requirements, processing times, employment eligibility, and benefits for accompanying family members vary by visa classification.

Business visitors can obtain a Visitor's Visa to visit Lesotho for a maximum consecutive stay of 30 days.

Foreign nationals intending to work can obtain a work permit, valid for up to two years. Work Permit application processing can take up to six months.

Note that the Department of Labour conducts periodic employer site visits to verify that all foreign nationals hold valid work authorization.
