The North Korea tourist visa is issued to people who want to enter North Korea for tourism and research purposes. The  visa is issued on a separate paper (tourist card) and not on your passport. Because North Korea is bordered to the North West by China, travelers may have to connect to North Korea through China. To get into North Korea, tourists must join either a group tour or a private tour. Individuals are not allowed to go into Korea on their own or even process their visa by themselves. They are to be accompanied by tour guides whether in groups or as individuals. Rules and regulations laid down by the state for foreigners must be duly followed to avoid harsh treatments. All tourists groups have to be approved and guided.   The tour group is responsible for getting your approved visa at the North Korea consulate in your country.  Note that interactions between foreign tourists and local people are controlled. Locals of North Korea also do not appreciate foreigners taking their pictures without their consent.  It should be noted that journalists are not given free access to information in the country except on special occasions that would be highly scrutinized by military officers.   Sometimes, the North Korea border officials confiscate cell phones of visitors only to return them on their departure date.  Tourists are strongly advised to have a valid travel insurance before setting out to North Korea.
