Work in North Korea

Working in North Korea is an atypical and very limited perspective that is not easily accessible to foreigners. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) operates under tight government control with minimal communication with the outside world. Therefore, there are several key points to consider for those seeking employment in the country.


Foreign workers in North Korea are typically diplomats, humanitarian workers, or individuals involved in specialized fields such as education. Diplomats and embassy staff represent their countries in Pyongyang, often focusing on maintaining diplomatic relations and assisting their citizens in the country. Humanitarian workers are involved in humanitarian activities, providing assistance to the North Korean population.


For those working in specialized industries, it is important to understand the unique dynamics and rules of the North Korean system. Communication and interaction with locals is tightly controlled, and any deviation from established protocols can have serious consequences. The government often dictates living conditions, which may include separate housing for foreign workers.
