What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Moshoeshoe I International Airport (MSU)
After landing, follow signs to 'Immigration' — it's a small terminal. Join the queue for 'Foreign Passports'. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will check your passport validity, ask your purpose of visit, and stamp you in. The whole process usually takes 5–10 minutes.
2
Land border entry (e.g., Maseru Bridge from South Africa)
If entering by road from South Africa, you'll go through Lesotho immigration at the border post. Present your passport, and the officer will stamp you in. Keep your passport accessible — don't pack it in luggage.
