Hi guys, so today we're going to be covering the topic
Can I travel to North Korea?
First things first, I would not be making these videos if
I could not travel to North Korea
I've been there over 25/30 times
And I still continue to go there
There are a couple of countries that cannot travel to North Korea
This is the US and South Korea
If you are traveling on either a US or South Korean passport
I'm sorry, you currently cannot go to North Korea
The American travel ban was renewed earlier this year
Hopefully we'll see what happens next year
but for now, Americans and South Koreans
you cannot travel to North Korea
There's also a couple of rules regarding journalism and photography in North Korea
journalists and photographers, you can also go to North Korea
However it is more difficult
and you cannot simply go on a tourist visa if you want to do commercial work
so those who can travel to North Korea
What's the process like?
I'll speak about this more in depth in another video
but if you want to travel to North Korea
First of all, you have to go on a group tour
you have to find a North Korean tour company that will take you on a group tour to North Korea
you can't simply just go in and travel by yourself
stay in hostels and do backpacking
that is *not yet* allowed in Korea
So if you want to travel to North Korea, first you have to find a tour company
book a tour
and then the rest is done for you
the visa application process is very simple
the North Korea tour provider will do all of this for you
and then all you've got to do is get yourself to China
the way to get in to North Korea is through China
either you can fly from Beijing
or you can get the train in from Beijing and Dandong in China
and then you are in North Korea
Thanks for listening today!
