The hardest countries in the world to get a visa

While visa for Vietnam or Belgium is easy to get, visa for North Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc. is a major obstacle.

 

North Korea

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is one of countries whose application for visa is the most difficult in the world. Tourists from South Korea are not allowed to travel to North Korea. Even potential visitors from Israel, America or Japan, they often face difficulties.

Although these visitors can get a visa, they will be followed closely by North Korea guides throughout the trip.

Russia

The tourist visa to Russia is not flexible and allows visitors to stay in the country for 30 days. They need an “invitation” before entering Russia and if the visa is lost (or invalid), it will be very difficult to leave this country.

Democratic Republic of Congo

Although the country is not dangerous as it was before, the process of visa application is still hampered by administrative procedures. Tourists may face the prospect of paying “unofficial fees”.

Republic of Angola

Long processing time of visa application is the biggest problem in this West African country. In addition, visitors must pay the consular fee. It also requires a letter of invitation, at least 100 USD a day financial support and proof of immunization.

Iran

All visas must be approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran and the visa application is a long process. Holders of British and American passport may roll their fingerprints when entering this Muslim country.

Syria

Visa application is closed in the UK because of international circumstances. But in any case, the visa application process is very long and visitors are often asked for letters of recommendation from the embassy of their country.

Saudi Arabia

It is extremely difficult to ask tourist visa for this famous country. Unmarried couples cannot come to this country, unless they are part of a group. Women under 30 years must be accompanied by their husband or brother.

United States

The visa for the United States is not too complex but if you have a criminal record, it is better to think again. If the tourist involves in an illegal drug, the door to US will be closed.
