Overview

North Korea is listed in the Visa Atlas directory with stable ISO codes KP/PRK, capital Pyongyang. This directory covers 196 countries: the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See, the State of Palestine and Kosovo. That is a chosen editorial scope, not a universally accepted count — recognition and membership differ between organisations and governments, and listing a place here implies no political position.

Official resources

A working link is not proof of official status, and a reachable page is not expert review. Confirm every rule on the government site itself before you travel.

Which body handles visas here

No North Korean government immigration or consular site opened, including the foreign ministry. Nothing stands in: no embassy page of the country itself could be confirmed and opened, so this remains unavailable rather than filled with a guess.

Official guidance

Awaiting official verification — no official North Korea immigration or foreign-ministry page has been opened and confirmed yet. Until one is recorded here, check with the nearest North Korea embassy or consulate before making plans.
