		Let us start with a bad one- on a recent tour a tourist was refused his visa- there was some confusion when the DPRK Embassy in his country rang up his company (they were unable to confirm he worked there) and subsequently they could not authorise his status and no visa was issued.
		Unfortunately the tourist had already departed and it was not until he arrived in Beijing to hear the bad news- this was our first failed visa in 2 years but things do go wrong and you have to be aware of this before you travel.
