Andorra to Lesotho visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders need an advance Lesotho visa application for tourism. Lesotho's eVisa system is suspended; applicants must use the manual/email process, and if approved receive a 72-hour visa-on-arrival letter that allows entry only through Maseru Port of Entry or Moshoeshoe I International Airport. A citizen of Andorra holding an ordinary passport cannot enter Lesotho visa-free for tourism. The Embassy of Lesotho in the USA lists Andorra as "YES" for requiring a visa to Lesotho, while the Ministry of Home Affairs states that the eVisa application system is suspended and directs applicants to email visa-applications.immigration@gov.ls. The current process is manual rather than an active eVisa: send the completed application and supporting documents, allow up to 10 working days for processing, and if approved receive a 72-hour visa-on-arrival letter. That approval letter allows entry only through Maseru Port of Entry or Moshoeshoe I International Airport. Embassy guidance lists medical insurance and a medical report among requirements, along with passport validity, bank statements, travel plan and accommodation. Fees are M1000 for a normal/regular single-entry passport visa and M2000 for multiple entry. Travelers should confirm the live portal status and current instructions directly with Lesotho immigration shortly before applying.
