Top Ten Most Difficult Visa Countries in the World

The top ten most difficult visa countries in the world:

1, Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is one of the most difficult countries in the world to apply for a visa. Korean tourists are not allowed to enter North Korea, and tourists from Israel, the United States and Japan will encounter visa difficulties.

Even those who can enter North Korea, regardless of nationality, will be accompanied by North Korean "tour guides" throughout the journey. British tourists can apply for a visa at the North Korean Embassy in London, but if you are a reporter, be prepared to be refused a visa.

2. Russia

The tourist visa is not flexible, allowing tourists to stay in Russia for 30 days. You need an "invitation letter" to apply for a visa. If you lose your visa (or overstay), it will be more troublesome for you to leave Russia than to enter Russia.

3. Republic of Congo

Although this country is not as dangerous as it used to be, the visa application process is very troublesome and you often have to pay "informal" fees.

4. Angola

The biggest trouble in applying for a visa to this beautiful West African country is that it takes a long time to go through the formalities. In addition, consular fees, invitations and at least a certain amount of financial aid, plus proof of immunization, should be paid every day.

5. Iran

All visas have to be approved by the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran, so it takes a long time to apply, and you rarely know where your visa is when you apply. Tourists with British and American passports are required to leave their fingerprints when entering Iran.

6. Syria

At present, due to the international situation, Britain's visa application for Syria has been suspended. Even if it takes a long time to go through the formalities when you can apply, you still need a letter of recommendation from your embassy, which is very expensive and takes a long time.

7. Saudi Arabia

Tourist visas in this country are notoriously difficult to sign. Unmarried couples can't travel alone. They must join the tour group in their own name, and women under 30 must be accompanied by their husbands or brothers.

8. Sao Tome and Principe

There are few embassies and consulates abroad in this African island country, so it is best to apply for a visa through a travel agency. In addition, a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required.

9. America

For ordinary tourists, the application procedure is simple, but if you have a criminal record, you should think twice. If you have been arrested for drug-related, then you never want to set foot in America again.

Sudan, 10

If you have an Israeli visa stamp on your passport, you will be refused a visa no matter whether the Israeli visa is valid or expired. You also need an invitation letter and a passport valid for at least six months.
