Do you have a source that isn’t biased for anything you said?

The visa and passports are the requirements the country a person is entering. I assume you’ve never had to leave your country…. Oh…. I get it now: You can’t.

The statement is largely false and misrepresents how movement works in North Korea. In the North Korea, the government strictly controls citizens’ ability to leave the country. Exit is not a right: ordinary citizens cannot freely obtain passports or travel abroad without state permission, which is granted only to a small, vetted group (such as laborers, diplomats, or students). Unauthorized attempts to leave are treated as crimes and can result in severe punishment for both the individual and their family. While it is true that tens of thousands of North Koreans have worked abroad, these workers are carefully selected, monitored, and their earnings are heavily controlled by the state. International sanctions—often coordinated through the United Nations Security Council—do restrict overseas employment and financial flows, but they are not the primary reason citizens cannot freely leave; the main barrier is the DPRK’s own internal system of political control and travel restrictions.

You’re the one dodging. Can they leave at any time without the government stopping them? It’s a yes or a no.

Are citizens in the DRPK allowed to exit the country whenever they want?

Except it’s not. 🧐

I heard you, I just don’t agree that is what I think.
