Embassy of Tanzania in Lesotho - Tanzania immigration services

Is There an Embassy of Tanzania in Lesotho?

No. Tanzania does not maintain a resident embassy or high commission in Lesotho, and there is no Tanzanian diplomatic mission in Maseru.

Instead, the High Commission of the United Republic of Tanzania in Pretoria, South Africa, is accredited to the Kingdom of Lesotho and serves as the official diplomatic mission responsible for bilateral and consular matters. The mission provides visa guidance, passport services, document legalization, and assistance to Tanzanian citizens in its countries of accreditation.
