    Regular Canadian passports: North Korea advance visa

    Canada's current regular-passport guidance requires a tourist visa and says it is obtained before travel from a DPRK mission in a third country after approval from Pyongyang.

    • Applies to a regular Canadian passport; official and other travel documents may follow different rules.
    • The visa is obtained from a North Korean mission in a third country after approval from the government in Pyongyang, and the process may be slow.
    • The passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond expected departure; journalists need special permission and may not use a tourist visa.
    • Border operations, organized-tour requirements, carrier rules and final admission remain separate and can change.
