Road Travel from South Africa into LESOTHO

[Francis]

Please confirm requirements for entry to Lesotho.

Will be travelling by road with 1 dog for a HOLIDAY : 1 - 2 week visit. We need a health certificate signed by a state vet.

Have reviewed detail online: IS a STATE VET in South Africa, a registered vet or is a STATE VET in South Africa an organisation like SPCA.
We are having difficulty in reaching out to a STATE VET FOR the CERTIFICATE required, and we are not able to obtain a contact number in South Africa for a State Vet.

Is there a place we can obtain the CERTIFICATE REQUIRED SO THAT WE CAN PRINT IT FOR VET to complete or will our registered VET have a copy ?

Francis - it will not be difficult to enter Lesotho with an international health certificate issued by a licensed vet in South Africa. Returning to South Africa will not be as easy unless your trip is shorter than 2 weeks. If your trip is less than 10 days, you can get a veterinary import permit that will allow your pet dog or cat to return to SA without having to go through the blood tests. Your pet will also need a microchip and proof of current rabies vaccination. https://www.pettravel.com/immigration/SouthAfrica.cfm

Francis, could you also tell a little bit about Lesoto after your journey will over? It is very interesting, because i've heard almost nothing about this country.

Most travellers from other countries require a passport, but do not need a visa for entering Lesotho for a period of up to 14 days.
All travellers to Lesotho should have sufficient funds, as well as the necessary documents and tickets required for an onward or return journey.
Extensions for visas are possible.
