Entry rules for Bangladesh passport holders
Bangladeshi citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Lesotho. Applications generally go through a Lesotho embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Lesotho immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
