## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Other foreign ordinary passports: advance Lesotho visitor visa** (Visa required)
  The Embassy’s incoming table marks its listed remaining nationalities “YES” (visa always required), while Home Affairs supplies the explicit every-foreign-citizen visa default outside abolition and Commonwealth exemptions. The live eVisa service is suspended, so the current process is an advance email/manual visa workflow, not a nationality-wide eVisa or a walk-up arrival visa.
  - The Embassy states that applications are handled manually at Home Affairs or by email. Its published process says an approved applicant is sent a 72-hour “visa-on-arrival letter”; this pre-approval/entry letter does not establish a walk-up visa-on-arrival entitlement.
  - For current catalog issuers not printed as a distinct row in the Embassy’s legacy-named table, this policy relies on Home Affairs’ explicit rule that every foreign-country citizen needs a visa except the named abolition/Commonwealth exemptions; it is not inferred from table omission.
  - The Embassy says processing can take up to ten working days and limits entry under that letter to Maseru Port of Entry or Moshoeshoe I International Airport.
  - The Government service charter lists tourist application, itinerary, passport, accommodation, financial, medical-insurance and medical-report requirements; the Embassy additionally lists journey-specific South African transit or re-entry visa requirements for Bangladesh and Pakistan.
  - The Ministry’s current pages conflict: one retains eVisa-first wording, but its live eVisa service page expressly says the system is suspended. The current Embassy page describes manual/email processing, so email submission or an arrival letter is not normalized as eVisa. Residence, work, study, business, transit, crew, diplomatic, official/service, UN, laissez-passer and other special-document arrangements are excluded.
  - Every admission remains subject to fees, passport validity, health, funds, accommodation, onward travel, border inspection, security and individual admissibility.
