As of this research (mid-2026), tourism is confirmed closed to virtually every nationality except Russian passport holders in organized tour groups; this status can change without notice and should be reconfirmed directly with an accredited tour operator before planning travel, the same caution given on every non-Russian passport row in seeds/north_korea_visa_rules.sql.

Always confirm with the official embassy or consulate before you fly.
