Welcome to the Expat North Korea Chapter!

Hwangyong-hamnida and a warm welcome to InterNations North Korea! Our network for expats in North Korea is tailored to your particular needs and helps you with moving to and settling in North Korea. Relocating overseas to a foreign country is adventurous and also challenging now and then. For expatriates North Korea a lot of questions come up such as: ʺHow good is the health care system in North Korea and do I need special vaccinations?ʺ, ʺIn which district should we live when moving to Nampo?ʺ or ʺHow about the overall safety in Pyongyang?ʺ And many more questions…

InterNations aims to support you, as an expatriate, in getting to know the North Korea expat community and discovering the North Korean way of life in all its facets, from having the traditional kim chi to celebrating the Arirang mass games.

We are present not only in North Korea, but worldwide including numerous countries in Asia & Oceania – for instance our chapter for Expat Australia. You might also consider to stop by at our Expat USA community during your next travel.

Embark on North Korea Expats Life

From the Mysterious Fragrant Mountain of Myohyangsan to the eight historic provinces of Korea, North Korea has much to offer to expatriates, tourists and travelers from all over the world. However, the growing expat North Korea community is mainly attracted by its economic challenges, e.g. in the mining sector, and the urban development in Pyongyang and Chongjin. Expat living in North Korea surely can face a challenge once in a while, but at the same time it is a wonderful intercultural experience you will never forget.
