十個最難拿到簽證的國家 朝鮮第一

North Korea

朝鮮

The DPRK is one of the toughest places to get a visa. South Korean tourists are not permitted in the north. Potential tourists from Israel, America and Japan may face difficulties. Even those that can get in, whatever their nationality, face being escorted by North Korean ‘guides’ throughout their stay. UK citizens can apply via the embassy in London, although if you're a journalist, prepare to be disappointed.

朝鮮是最難拿到簽證的地方之一。韓國的遊客不允許到北朝鮮。來自以色列，美國和日本的遊客也可能會遇到麻煩。即使不管國籍，這些人能去朝鮮，他們在朝鮮逗留期間，處處還都是會處在朝鮮的“嚮導”護送之下。英國公民可以通過駐倫敦大使館申請，但如果你是一名記者，就準備失望而歸吧。

Russia

俄羅斯

A tourist visa is inflexible and allows you to stay for 30 days. You need an 'invitation' before you can enter and if you lose your visa (or overstay it) then leaving the country can be trickier than getting in.

俄羅斯的遊客簽證很靈活，允許你待30天。入境前需要有一個“邀請”，如果你丟了簽證（或者超過簽證期限逗留），那麼你出境比入境還要難。

Democratic Republic of Congo

剛果

Although the country is not as dangerous as it once was, the visa application process is hindered by red tape. You also often face the prospect of paying ‘unofficial fees’.

儘管這個國家不像以前那麼危險了，但是簽註申請過程還是被繁文縟節阻礙。你也經常要面臨被收“非官方費用”的處境。

Angola

安哥拉

Long processing time is the biggest problem in this beautiful West African country; but there are also consular fees, the requirement for an invitations and at least $100 a day financial support along with proof of immunisation.

這個美麗的西非國家最大的問題是簽證處理的時間長。也有領事簽證費，要求有邀請、至少一天100美元的財政支持以及免疫證明。

Iran

伊朗

All visas need to be approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran, which can be a lengthy process, during which time you’ll get little feedback about what’s holding up the application. British and American passport holders face being fingerprinted on arrival.

伊朗的所有簽證都需要由德黑蘭的外交部批准，這可能是一個漫長的過程，在此期間，關於什麼阻礙了申請，你很少能得到反饋。英國和美國的護照持有者入境的時候還要被錄指紋。

Syria

敘利亞

Visa application is currently closed in Britain due to the international circumstances, but in any case the application process is time consuming and you’ll often need a letter of recommendation from your own embassy, which is often expensive and increases the length of approval time.

因爲國際環境，目前英國的簽註申請是停止了的。但是在任何情況下，敘利亞的簽註申請過程都是相當耗費時間的，你常常需要有來自自己國家大使館的推薦信，而這常常是很昂貴的，與此同時也會延長簽證批准的時間。

Saudi Arabia

沙特阿拉伯

Tourist visas are notoriously difficult to get hold of in this country. Unmarried couples are unable to travel together alone; they must be part of a group and named as ‘individuals’. Women under 30 must be accompanied by their husband or brother.

這個國家遊客簽證的難以獲得是臭名遠揚的。沒有結婚的情侶不能單獨兩個人一起旅遊；他們必須以個人身份加入團隊才能一起去旅遊。30歲以下的女性必須由她們的丈夫或兄弟陪同。

Sao Tome and Principe

聖多美和普林西比

The island nation off the coast of Africa has a limited number of embassies to interact with, so you’re better off going through travel agencies. You also need proof of a Yellow Fever vaccine.

這個非洲海岸的島國只跟爲數不多的大使館有交流，所以要去這裏旅遊你最好通過旅行社。另外，你需要有黃熱病疫苗的證明喔。

United States

美國

For your average tourist, this is generally a straightforward process, but if you've got a criminal record then think again. If you’ve ever dabbled in illegal drugs and been caught, consider the US to be off limits.

如果你只是個普通遊客，那麼這一般只是個簡單的處理過程。但是如果你有犯罪記錄，那就得再想想了。如果你曾經因非法買賣毒品被抓，那就甭想入境美國了。

Sudan

蘇丹

If you have an Israeli visa stamp in your passport then you’ll be denied entry, regardless as to whether it’s valid or expired. You must also have a letter of introduction as well as at least six months left on your passport.

如果你的護照上有以色列的簽註郵戳，不管簽註是有效的還是過期的，你都會被拒絕入境。你同樣也必須要有介紹信和至少六個月的護照有效期。
