北朝鮮：出発前に知っておきたいこと

重要ポイント

  • General entry remains restricted; limited tourism is not a general reopening. Confirm authorisation before booking.
  • The UK advises against all but essential travel; arbitrary detention and limited consular access are serious risks.
  • Expect guided travel and cash payments; international cards and mobile payments cannot be relied on.

入国とビザ

Entry is restricted and requires advance authorisation. British tourists need a visa and normally travel on an organised tour. Chinese ordinary-passport holders also need a visa or authorised sightseeing document in advance. Confirm current nationality, route and entry restrictions with the relevant embassy and authorised operator.

パスポートの残存期間: UK guidance: valid for the stay; confirm stricter nationality and transit requirements with the embassy.
