Australian passports: North Korea advance visa
Australia's current travel guidance requires a visa for every travel type and directs applicants to obtain it in a third country because no DPRK mission operates in Australia.
- Applies to Australian travellers using an ordinary passport for a short visit; journalists and business travellers follow additional permission or sponsorship rules.
- The visa must be obtained before travel in a third country such as China or Indonesia because there is no DPRK embassy or consulate in Australia.
- Travel is limited to an official tour with an accompanying guide; sanctions may also affect payments connected to a visa or organized travel.
- Entry conditions, carrier rules and final admission remain separate and may change at short notice.
