Visa required
Travelling to North Korea on a New Zealand passport, you need a visa, arranged before you travel.

Getting into North Korea starts with a tour company, not an embassy. A state-assigned guide accompanies every group from arrival to departure, and the visa itself is tied to that itinerary.
Beijing is the usual staging point, with onward travel to Pyongyang by air or the twice-weekly train. The same process applies no matter the stated purpose of the visit.
