ELIGIBILITY: Journalists, South Korean citizens and Isreali citizens are not able to participate in this program. U.S. and Japanese citizens are permitted to participate in this program; however, certain restrictions currently remain in place. U.S. and Japanese citizens are unable to spend the night with homestay families at Mount Chilbo; they will spend the night a nearby hotel after having dinner together with the host families. U.S. and Japanese citizens are not permitted to take the train out of the DPRK; we will arrange for U.S. and Japanese citizens to fly to Beijing on the 19th of August for a surcharge of $150.

VISAS: All participants are required to obtain double or multiple entry Chinese visas in their country of official residence or citizenship before the start of the program. We will issue all participants invitation letters for double entry Chinese visas if needed. Participants do not need to get their own DPRK visas; we will apply for them on your behalf and hand them out in Yanji at the start of the program.
