INTRODUCTION
Citizens of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands will be able to enter Lesotho visa-free for up to 90 days, beginning on 1 October 2017. The new arrangement follows a decision by the Government of Lesotho to grant visa-free access to citizens of all member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). This is to inform you that the Lesotho Embassy in Swaziland has made a visa available for all Nationals from COCOS ISLANDS. Cocos (Keeling) Islands are a small island nation in the Indian Ocean, in the vicinity of Christmas Island. Cocos Islands have been under Australian control since 1955 and currently serve as an external Territory.
