The 60-second version

Lesotho exit needs employer PAYE certificate and LRA compliance letter. I export pension statements, close LSL account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR.

PAYE proof before maloti account closure

Lesotho taxes residents on worldwide income — I obtain PAYE reconciliation and LRA TIN clearance.

South African enclave workers may have dual payroll — retain both certificates.
