Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit LS?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Lesotho. Brazil is not on Lesotho's visa-exempt list, so a tourist eVisa must be obtained before travel. Note: as of mid-2026 the online eVisa portal is suspended, and applications are handled by email/embassy. A Brazilian citizen holding an ordinary passport requires a visa to enter Lesotho for tourism. Lesotho extends visa-free access to roughly 54 countries (notably South Africa, the UK, US, Japan, EU states with limited stays, and most Commonwealth nations), but Brazil is not among them. The standard channel is the Lesotho tourist eVisa, which is normally applied for online before arrival; Lesotho does not offer a general visa-on-arrival for non-exempt nationals. Important current caveat: the official eVisa Applications System operated by the Ministry of Home Affairs is presently suspended, and applicants are directed to apply by emailing VISA-Applications.Immigration@gov.ls or through a Lesotho embassy/consulate. Because Lesotho has no resident embassy in Brazil, Brazilian travelers typically apply through the Lesotho High Commission accredited to the region (or the nearest mission) or via the immigration email channel. The tourist visa is generally single-entry, allows a stay of up to 30 days, and the eVisa is normally processed within about 72 hours when the online system is active; email/embassy processing can take longer. Travelers should confirm the live status of the eVisa portal and the current accepted application channel directly with the Ministry of Home Affairs before booking, and carry a printed visa approval plus proof of accommodation, onward ticket, and funds. Many travelers reach Lesotho overland from South Africa, so a valid South African visa/entry status may also be required for transit.
