Can Malaysians travel to North Korea today? 

The short answer is no. Malaysian citizens cannot travel to North Korea today. 

Malaysian Travel Ban

Relevant authorities in Malaysia confirmed in August 2024 that a travel ban remains in full effect.

All Malaysian citizens are strictly prohibited from travelling to the DPRK.

Unfortunately, Koryo Tours will not take those travelling on Malaysian passports to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (‘DPRK’ or ‘North Korea’). This is following the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia restriction, effective September 28, 2017.

We have also been advised that Malaysia does not recognise dual citizenship.

Therefore, all Malaysian citizens, even if they have a second non-Malaysian passport, are subject to the travel ban and are not permitted to enter the DPRK.

I Am a Malaysian Citizen, Can I Join Any Other Tours?

Koryo Tours also operates tours to other fascinating destinations, such as Mongolia, Central Asia, South Asia, Europe, and the ROK (South Korea).

Malaysian citizens are welcome to join on any of our international destination tours.
