Can Americans travel to North Korea?

by Will
(USA)

I checked out your website and it appears that Americans can travel to North Korea. I had always thought North Korea was off-limits to Americans (except for high profile diplomats and politicians). Can ordinary American tourists (like myself) travel to North Korea now? Has the government changed the laws?


Anyways, I am very interested in doing a tour of North Korea, although probably not this year. Is your 2012 tour schedule posted yet?


To go on your tours, are travelers required to get themselves to Beijing on their own?

Thanks,


Will

Thank you for your email and interest in visiting the DPRK. Yes, US tourists can visit North Korea.

Please see our following thread for more details regarding this:

Our 2012 tours will be up later this year.

You will have to arrange the trip to China yourself and apply for a double-entry Chinese visa as you will be entering China twice unbless you are to stay in Beijing for less than 24 hours either upon arrival from the US or on your return from Pyongyang. In this case you will have to show evidence of your next flight at customs in China and will be able to stay in Beijing for 24 hours without having to use a visa entry.

If you have any other questions, please just let us know!

Thank you,
