My North Korean visa
North Korea picture - Obtaining a visa to visit the DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, aka. North Korea) is somewhat difficult, even with a UK passport. Although this was a 7-day tourist excursion, they require your CV and a written letter from your employer confirming your position at the company you work for. Very few westerners visit this country each year. Incidentally, North Korea prefers to be called the DPRK. South Korea isn't really recognized and is always spelled with a lowercase 's' according to the North Koreans!
