It is not possible to enter Korea (Dem Rep) from the Republic of Korea (South Korea).
The threat from terrorism in Korea (Dem Rep) is low, but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
Travellers should register with their embassy in Pyongyang on arrival.
Travel within Korea (Dem Rep) is severely restricted.
Due to Avian Influenza outbreaks in the region, you may be required by the DPRK authorities to provide recent travel itineraries as part of the visa application process. The DPRK authorities have said informally that visas may be denied to applicants who have recently visited areas affected by Avian Influenza but no further guidance has yet issued as to how this might be applied.
Visitors should ensure they are inoculated against measles, which has broken out in some parts of the DPRK.
