Lesotho visa for Malawian citizens

As a Lesotho passport holder, your journey to Malawi offers remarkable ease with visa-free entry, allowing for stays of up to 90 days without the need for a visa application fee. This straightforward arrangement means you can focus on planning your adventure, perhaps exploring the stunning Lake Malawi, before your 90-day limit is reached. Given the relatively short travel distance, common flight routes often connect Maseru to Lilongwe, though direct flights can be infrequent, so checking connections is advised, and remember to exchange your currency for Malawian Kwacha upon arrival.
