Where to apply: Denmark has no mission in North Korea

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
China 2,093 km
Applications accepted in: Beijing, Guangzhou (Canton), Shanghai
2
Philippines 3,104 km
Applications accepted in: Manila
3
Thailand 3,735 km
Applications accepted in: Bangkok

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.
