About the Lesotho Embassy in Berlin
The Embassy of the Kingdom of Lesotho represents Lesotho in Germany and supports bilateral relations between Lesotho and Germany. Although commonly referred to as the Lesotho Embassy in Berlin, the embassy is currently located in Teltow, near Berlin.
Germany and Lesotho established diplomatic relations in 1968. Their cooperation includes regional development, economic cooperation, education and sustainable development. Germany also works with Lesotho through the European Union and regional programmes involving the Southern African Development Community.
Visa Information
Citizens of Lesotho generally require a visa to travel to Germany. Short stays normally require a Schengen visa, while longer stays for purposes such as employment, study or family reunification require the appropriate German national visa.
Germany does not maintain a career embassy in Lesotho. The German Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa, is responsible for Lesotho and provides the relevant German consular services. Applicants should confirm the current visa application procedure with the responsible German mission before applying.
German citizens do not currently need a visa for tourist stays in Lesotho of up to 14 days. A visa or other authorisation may be required for longer stays or purposes such as employment, study or residence.
German travellers should also ensure that their passport meets the current validity requirements and check the latest entry conditions before departure.
Consular Services
The Lesotho Embassy provides consular assistance to citizens of Lesotho living in Germany and handles selected official matters relating to travel and documentation.
- Lesotho passport and travel document matters
- Visa information and visa applications where required
- Consular certificates and official documents
- Authentication and certification of documents
- Civil-status related matters
- Citizenship-related enquiries
- Emergency consular assistance for citizens of Lesotho
Procedures and documentary requirements can vary depending on the service requested. Applicants should therefore confirm the requirements directly with the embassy before submitting documents or travelling to Teltow.
Appointments
A comprehensive official online appointment system covering all consular services could not be reliably confirmed. Applicants should therefore contact the Lesotho Embassy before visiting and ask whether an appointment or prior submission of documents is required for their particular service.
This is especially advisable for passport, visa and document-related procedures, as requirements may differ depending on the application and the applicant's circumstances.
