Do I need a visa for North Korea from Philippines?

Visa required

Travelling to North Korea on a Philippines 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. This applies whether the visit is for tourism or business; independent travel is not permitted either way.
