Romania to Lesotho
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 must carry a notarised letter of parental consent to enter Lesotho.
What should I do before I travel?
Before you travel you must obtain a physical visa for Lesotho applied for in advance. The visa application is carried out online and at an immigration office as part of the process.

No vaccinations are mandatory for entry. Carry travel insurance if you wish, but it is not a condition of entry.
What happens at the border?
At border control you may be asked to present your passport and the physical visa that you obtained in advance. Officers may also request evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, proof of a return flight, and proof of a hotel booking. There is no arrival registration or entry card required.
