Can I travel to North Korea?

As of June 2022, no.

North Korea can't travel freely yet, so it must go to North Korea in the form of a group tour. According to the regulations of the DPRK, foreigners' residence and travel procedures during their stay in the DPRK must be assisted by the reception unit of the DPRK, and applicants cannot apply directly. In addition, the diet, accommodation and itinerary during the trip to North Korea need to be arranged by the institutions stationed in North Korea, and individuals cannot book and pay. Therefore, after tourists arrive in North Korea, they must not rush to leave the team to play.
