A few times per year, The Korean Friendship Association (KFA) organizes a trip to the DPR of Korea (North Korea). The KFA gives the chance to know about the country, its people, society and culture. All passports are invited to apply except for: U.S.A., Republic of Korea (South Korea) and Japan.
The number of visitors is limited to 20.
This isn’t a regular tourist trip, but a cultural one where visitors are expected to interact and behave accordingly. A visitor joining the KFA Delegation is not treated as a tourist but as a friend of the DPRK, having access to places, information, insights and events not allowed for regular visitors.
