What are the top ten most difficult visa countries in the world in 2023?

Basically, you need a visa to go abroad. The visa application requirements of each country are different, and the application difficulty is also different. In some countries, it is difficult to apply for a visa, and visa will be refused. So what are the top ten countries with the most difficult visas in the world? Below, I will take stock of the relevant information for you. Welcome to reading.

First, the top ten most difficult visa countries in the world 1, North Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is one of the most difficult countries to obtain a visa. It doesn't allow Korean tourists to eat fruit here. Potential tourists from Israel, the United States and Japan may also encounter problems when applying for visas. Even if you can get in, no matter who you are, you must be accompanied by a North Korean tour guide. Britons can apply for a visa at the North Korean Embassy in Britain, but if you are a reporter, you may be rejected.

2. Russia

The necessary tourist visa allows you to stay here for 30 days. You must be invited to enter this country. If you lose your visa (or overdue) during your trip, it will be very bad, because leaving may be more troublesome than entering this country.

3. Democratic Republic of the Congo

Although this country is not as dangerous as it used to be, visa procedures are still hindered by many red tape, and you may also encounter "unofficial fees".

4. Angola

The biggest problem in this beautiful West African country is that the visa processing time is too long. In addition, an entry invitation letter, consultation fee and immunization certificate of at least $ 100 per day are required.

5. Iran

All visas must be approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran, which will be a long process, during which you hardly know any feedback about visa application. British and American passport holders also need to enter fingerprints when entering the country.

6. Syria

At present, due to the international situation, Syria has closed the British visa channel. But in any case, it takes a lot of time to get a visa here, and you need a letter of recommendation from your own embassy, which will also increase the economic cost and time cost of the visa.

7. Saudi Arabia

Saudi ARabia visa rab visa. Unmarried couples cannot travel alone. They must be on the team. A "single" woman under the age of 30 must be accompanied by her husband or brother.

8. Sao Tome and Principe ** * People's Republic of China (PRC)

This island country is located on the coast of Africa, and the number of ambassadors handling affairs is limited. It is best to apply for visas through travel agencies. In addition, you need proof of yellow fever vaccine.

9. America

If it is a normal trip, visa processing is generally a very direct process, but if you have a criminal record, you may commit another crime or be caught in illegal transactions, then the United States will ban you.

Sudan, 10

If your passport has an Israeli seal, whether it is valid or expired, you will be refused a visa. You must have a letter of introduction and have been away from Israel for at least six months.

2. Visa-free countries and regions in the world: America.

Aruba: No visa, if you have valid visas for Britain, the United States, Canada, the Netherlands and Schengen. This Caribbean island is 33 kilometers long.

Bermuda: visa-free, such as holding a visa or permanent residence permit from the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom.

CaymanIslands: visa-free, with visas or permanent residence permits from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom or direct entry from these three countries.

Cuba: visa-free, 30 days, holding an official passport or tourist card for 25 dollars. Tourist cards can be obtained from designated travel agencies or Cuban embassies (the tickets of several airlines already include the cost of tourist cards, so there is no need to pay extra). It is one thing for holders of American green card and Canadian maple leaf card to buy a plane ticket, but for those who leave from China, they must go to the Cuban Embassy first. The tourist card is just a piece of paper, and they doubt that the domestic border inspection can get you through. Interestingly, there are only five socialist countries in the world. For comrades-in-arms, should we also give unconditional visa exemption? But nobody wants to. Regarding Cuban visas, you can also see Americans going to Cuba.

Costa Rica: visa-free, holding visas or permanent residence permits from Canada, the United States and the European Union. Note: The visas of the above countries must be valid for at least 3 months from the date of arrival.

Dominican Republic Dominica * * * United States: visa-free but you need to buy a 30-day tourist card, with visas or permanent residence permits from Canada, the United States and the European Union. Note: China citizens living in China not only need to apply for a visa in advance, but also need an immigration authorization with passport number and flight information. This letter must be faxed to (809)682- 122 1. This is also good for stowaways.

Mexico: visa-free, but you need to buy a 30-day travel card. The cost of the tourist card is $25. You must hold an American green card and a Canadian maple card. Tickets of several airlines have included the cost of tourist cards. In theory, both land and airlines have to buy tourist cards again when they leave or enter the country, but my personal experience (65438+February 2008) is that it is free to enter Mexico from Guatemala land port.

Honduras: The following countries do not have visas, valid visas or permanent residence permits: the United States, Canada, Britain, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and European Union countries. Early exemption hurts my anxiety. Look at this, twists and turns-Honduras visa, looking forward to Central America visa VCA-4- visa to travel to four countries and Guatemala visa.

Nicaragua: visa-free, holders of valid visas or permanent residence permits from the United States, Canada or Schengen countries. Central America was originally the back garden of the United States and Canada. Look at this. Looking forward to a Central American visa VCA-4- a visa to travel to four countries.

Panama Panama: visa-free, 30 days, with visas from Australia, Canada, the United States and the European Union. The original tourist card has now been cancelled.

TurksandCaicosIslands: visa-free, 30 days, with Canadian, British and American visas or permanent residence permits. The British islands in the West Indies face Cuba across the sea. The official currency is the US dollar.

WestIndies West Indies: visa-free, 3 months, Schengen visa holder, note, "ALSOVALIDFORFRENCHWESTINDIES". Play with the one above.

Asia Asia

Japan Japan: Landing permit, 15 days by cruise, 72 hours by plane, free of charge. In the past, as long as the plane crossed the border, it was given 72 hours. Now it seems that we must make sure that it transfers at different airports. Confirm before travel. This is also an injury to stowaways.

Myanmar: landing visa, 28 days, must have a pre-approval letter from the hotel tourism department and a copy of passport, itinerary and hotel address. The pre-approval letter can be applied directly through the travel agency or in person. It is better to go directly to the embassy to apply for a visa, which is much simpler than this.

Philippines Philippines: landing visa, 7 days, with visas from Australia, Canada, the United States, Japan and the European Union. Although seven days is not long, the diving holiday is very good.

Singapore: 1 transit visa, 96 hours (4 days), visa/permanent residence permit holders from Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, Britain and the United States. 2. Sign the official passport for 30 days. Four days is enough for tourists. It takes less than two hours to drive in Singapore. In fact, starting from Singapore and crossing Malaysia along the North-South Expressway, it only takes 8 hours to reach the Thai border.

Korea Korea: 1. Passengers who only travel in Jeju Island are exempt from visas within 30 days; 22. Holders of visas/permanent residence permits from Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, New Zealand and the United States, and travel destinations other than Korea. Note: You must have a confirmed ticket from one of 30 countries. This makes many people fly on Korean Air or Asiana Airlines. 3. Visa-free, holding a visa/Schengen visa from any of 30 European countries; 4. visa-free, APEC business travel card holders.
