Kim Jong-un banned the entry of foreigners in North Korea in the beginning of Kovid 19. When the world started running, but this Korean country was stuck in the year 2020 itself. Now the ways of foreign tourists coming there are open. In this too, the same people will be able to roam, who can follow some special conditions. But there are many questions here, in which the biggest thing is that why will foreign tourists come to Korea, considered isolated?
Why Entry Restrictions are removing
To overcome the aggressive methods of this country, the entire international fraternity including the US imposed a lot of business and diplomatic sanctions on it. It also includes the United Nations Security Council, and the Sections set up by the European Union. Apart from the big economic ban, things like asset freezing and traveling were also done here.
Due to the ban, the economic condition of the country collapsed badly. Also, North Korea was completely cut off during Kovid, where no one could come, nor could anyone go. This also worsened the right situation. Now the Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un talked about the restoration of tourism in the country after five years. Since then, North Korea is under discussion.
Will be able to roam but with restrictions
This country, which is isolated, is calling foreigners but with many conditions. According to a report published in the Times of India, there will be many restrictions for tourists. For example, they cannot come anywhere without a local guide. They can roam only in the fixed places of the country. Photography will be closed in most places. Also, cameras and locals will be monitored on them all the time. If someone agrees to accept these conditions, then only he can reach North Korea.
Non-dost
The country is ready for welcome, but how many tourists would like to put their lives at risk and roam here, this is also one thing. In fact, this country was notorious for its non-dosts, which were angry with foreigners, especially America and Europe.
American tourist returned in critical condition
In the year 2015, a university named Otto WarmBier reached here to visit but he was taken into custody at Pyongyang Airport. The young man was accused that he had tried to steal a poster with political slogan. Within three months, the Supreme Court sentenced the warmbear to 15 years. The court said that the young man did this together with the US government under a conspiracy.
America demanded release, calling it wrong but no response was received. In the year 2017, suddenly the Korean government announced that the warmbear is being released on humanitarian grounds. He was sent to the US but he was in a coma. Investigations revealed that they were in this state for a long time. North Korea continued to smuggle it, while American doctors claimed that they were severely assaulted, causing them to go into this condition due to brain injury. He died a few days after his release.
Then Donald Trump had his first term in the US
Trump was very angry and imposed several restrictions on North Korea. Also issued advisory for his citizens to avoid travel to this country. The American State Department has still placed North Korea on Level 4, that is, the country where there is a danger of getting stuck when going.
All developed countries kept avoiding Korea
Most big countries, including Canada and Australia, refuse to go to North Korea in their travel advisory. Korea is deteriorating relations with its neighbors to far-flung countries. In such a situation, he is apprehensive all the time that there is no attack on him. He continued to make preparations to avoid imaginary attack. Like missile testing happens there. Or new orders are issued. This situation is not right for tourism.
Tight watch on information
If tourists want to listen or read news while walking abroad, then it is not possible here. International news channels come to the big hotels there, but every now and then their broadcast is also closed. In such a situation, if the North Korea fights with the same country, from where there is a tourist, then there can be a lot of trouble.
Health system also weak
Although information does not come from North Korea, but it is believed that there are hunger conditions at the moment, and crime is increasing. Apart from this, there are many problems. Like medical facility in the whole country is very weak. Even in the capital Pyongyang, there is no good hospital. In such a situation, if the tourist falls seriously ill, then he has to get medical ecuination, which can be very expensive.
Due to lack of information, tourists get trapped in jail. For example, you cannot take any kind of religious or political content there. The Korean government sees this as a campaign against itself. Making fun of Kim Jong or any member of his family comes under the category of serious crime. After this, the path will open directly in the detention center. Photos cannot be taken everywhere here. Doing so is called detective, whose punishment can be very serious.
How to get North Korea visa
– For this, people cannot apply themselves, but will have to seek the help of the travel agency. Visitors are not independently Alaou in this country.
– Passport size picture, passport and an application form will have to be filled on the white background and the agent will have to be given.
– There are also some terms and conditions, on which sign is necessary or else the visa will be rejected.
– If the visa is found then it will not be on the passport, but will get a separate paper.
– It will also be written on where you can enter the country. It has two ways- Russia and China. The visa must have been described in a maniferous manner.
– Here you cannot keep the passport with you, but the local guide submits it with you. It is returned only at the time of leaving the country.
Russia and China are now partners
Currently, the people of Russia and China come here to visit, which continued during Kovid. North Korean government website was told that more than eight hundred Russian tourists came here last year. However, now the way Russia and America are seen getting closer, it may be that in the coming time, this country will also be filled with Russia. In such a situation, it will not be easy for him to increase foreign tourism even after the doors are opened.
