If you want to go to North Korea through the front door, a rip-off tour will be your only choice. You will need their paperwork to get the visa (usually tour companies deal with this aspect as well). The only other option is to get to the border with China, and accidentally cross in NK territory. Where you will no doubt reduce your cash outlay, but this option comes with consequences.
