North Korea Travel Advisory Reissued
Caution Advised Amidst Serious Risk of Arrest and Long-Term Detention
Obsolete COVID-19 Information Removed
The United States Department of State has reissued a travel advisory for North Korea, warning against travel due to the ongoing serious risk of arrest and long-term detention of U.S. citizens.
The advisory follows the removal of outdated COVID-19 information from the department's website. Despite lifted restrictions in January 2010, which allowed American citizens to visit North Korea freely, a ban was imposed in 2017.
The ban, which has been renewed through at least 2024, restricts U.S. passport holders from traveling to North Korea. The Biden administration faces a decision by the end of the month on whether to renew the ban.
The advisory urges Americans with relatives in North Korea to exercise increased caution due to the critical threat of arbitrary arrest and long-term detention.
