There is a grand total of 25 foreign embassies in North Korea. 

Most of these embassies are in a Diplomatic Compound, known as the Munsu-dong Diplomatic Compound. 

Three embassies are located outside of this diplomatic compound, as they are much larger than the others. 

These embassies are China, Russia, and Pakistan. 

The Swedish embassy acts as the protecting power for Australia, Canada, and the United States. It also provides consular services for the Nordic countries. The Swedish embassy also handles visa applications for Italy and Spain.

The British embassy provides consular assistance to any Commonwealth citizen whose country is not represented in North Korea. 

There are also several countries who previously had embassies in North Korea, but have since closed them down. These countries include;  Albania, Australia, Hungary, Iraq, Libya, Portugal, Sri Lanka, South Yemen, and Yugoslavia.

For those that need to get a Chinese visa in North Korea for entry back into China if you didn't organise this in advance, you can visit the Chinese Embassy in Pyongyang and can get your visa processed within a few days. The Chinese embassy is closed on Chinese public holidays. 

North Korea also has embassies in various countries around the world.
