Restriction, published in Federal Register, forbids US nationals from traveling to the DPRK due to serious risk of ‘arrest and long-term detention’
The United States will officially begin banning its citizens from traveling to North Korea on September 1.
The restriction, which was published Wednesday in the Federal Register, forbids U. S. nationals from traveling to North Korea due to a serious risk of “arrest and long-term detention.”
«All United States passports are declared invalid for travel to, in, or through the DPRK unless specially validated for such travel, » the published restriction reads.
Humanitarian travel and, in some cases, travel for journalistic purposes, will be exempt from the ban, which will remain in effect for one year unless it is rescinded sooner by the U.
