“North Korea represents the only country in the world for which no documented pathway for international civilian pet travel exists — the absolute baseline of global pet travel accessibility. Total pages: 101”
North Korea scores at the absolute bottom of the global Index with no documented commercial pet travel pathway for international visitors, no publicly available official guidance, no established permit process for civilian international arrivals, and effectively closed borders for non-diplomatic foreign nationals.
North Korea is the only country in the world where no pathway for international civilian pet travel has been documented in any accessible source, and the combination of closed borders, absence of commercial airline routes, and complete absence of official guidance makes it uniquely and absolutely inaccessible for international pet travel.
