→ Madagascar visa for Basotho citizens
As a Lesotho passport holder planning your adventure to Madagascar, you'll find the e-visa system quite convenient, offering a maximum stay of 90 days to explore the island's unique biodiversity. With five distinct tourist visa types available, you can tailor your application to your travel plans, and the application process typically takes just a few business days. Remember that while flights often route through South Africa, the Malagasy Ariary has a different exchange rate than the South African Rand, so factor in currency conversion for your spending money during your visit.
