Do I need a visa for North Korea from South Africa?

Visa required

Travelling to North Korea on a South Africa passport, you need a visa, arranged before you travel.

There is no direct path to a North Korean visa outside a licensed tour. The paperwork runs through the tour operator's contact with North Korean authorities rather than any consulate you would visit yourself.

Most itineraries route through Beijing, where the tour group forms up before the flight or train into Pyongyang. There is no route around the group structure, whatever the reason for the trip.
