On 22 August 2017 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Travel Advice for North Korea was updated to advise against all but essential travel. This reflects the current security situation in North Korea, which can change without warning and with no advance notice of possible actions by the authorities. We continue to monitor the situation and regularly review the FCO Travel Advice.
