Kim Jong-un and his late father Kim Jong-il used fake Brazilian passports to apply for visas to visit Western countries in the 1990s

Kim Jong-un and his late father Kim Jong-il used Brazilian passports with fake names, date of births and birth places to apply for visas in the 1990s in an attempt to visit Western countries while flying under the radar.

They used these Brazilian passports, which clearly show the photographs of Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong-il, to attempt to obtain visas from foreign embassies. This may show the desire for travel and may indicate the family’s attempt to build a possible escape route.

‘JOSEF PWAG’

The passport allegedly belonging to Kim Jong-un has the name “Josef Pwag” printed on it with the date of birth Feb. 1, 1983. It’s not clear if the date listed is really his birthday because his date of birth has never been publicly released. He would have been between 12 and 14 years old when the passport was issued.

‘Ijong Tchoi’

The other passport, said to belong to Kim Jong-il, is listed under the name “Ijong Tchoi” with the birth date of April 4, 1940, a year off from the late tyrant’s real birthday.

The passports, both valid for 10 years, have the “Embassy of Brazil in Prague” and an issue date of Feb. 26, 1996. The passports were real and initially given to the consulate as blanks. The birthplaces were listed as Sao Paulo, Brazil.
