Where to apply: Slovenia 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
South Korea 493 km
Applications accepted in: Seoul
2
Japan 1,043 km
Applications accepted in: Tokyo
3
China 2,093 km
Applications accepted in: Beijing

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.
