Kingdom of Eswatini
Eswatini publishes immigration, permit and citizenship requirements through the Ministry of Home Affairs on the official government portal. The current Visa Atlas packet covers entry visa and transit guidance, temporary residence permits for employees, business persons, dependants, students and visitors, special passes, and citizenship by registration classes. Applicants should confirm the current form, fee and filing channel with Home Affairs because the government pages publish requirement checklists but not always the full operational workflow.
