Business Entry Visa

Overview

Lesotho public online sources support entry-visa categories and the work-permit service well, but do not expose a complete residence or citizenship route corpus in the reviewed source set. These pages therefore cover the official entry and work-permit services only and use lite coverage until deeper residence sources are verified. The official entry-visa service lists business as a visa category. The checklist includes an invitation letter from the sponsor, the sponsor's trader licence and tax clearance, sponsor passport and declaration, residence or work-permit evidence where applicable, proof of work-permit approval where relevant, sponsor bank statements showing economic activity, applicant passport copy, applicable education evidence, itinerary, medical insurance and medical report.
