I was wondering if it’s still possible to travel to North Korea as a tourist. I know it used to be allowed under very strict conditions and only through guided tours, but I’m not sure what the current situation is like.

Has anyone been recently or heard any updates? Are there any specific nationalities that are allowed or banned? Also, what’s the process like in terms of visas, tour companies, restrictions, etc?

I’m just curious if anyone has any first-hand experience or are more familiar with the current rules that they are willing to share.
