North Macedonia Visit Visa

* Travel authorisations are not required for visits of up to 30 days.
**Travel authorisations are not required for visits of up to 60 days.

North Macedonia Visa Application Process

If you didn’t find your nationality in the list above, then the first step to get a North Macedonia visa is to decide which of the 3 types of authorisation is right for you:

• Airport transit authorisation (type A)
• Short-stay or transit authorisation (type C)
• Long-stay authorisation (type D)

If you’re visiting to hike this Southern European country’s rugged trails and soak up its Greek, Roman and Ottoman culture, then you’ll likely want to apply for a short-stay authorisation (type C), which will be the main focus of the next few sections.

To successfully complete your type C application, you’ll want to make sure you have the following documents and information in order:

• A passport that’s valid at least 90 days past your dates of travel and that has at least 2 blank pages.
• Confirmed round-trip travel tickets (you’ll need to include your exact entry and exit dates on your application).
• Proof of accommodation (make sure this matches up with your travel dates).

Once you have these documents sorted out, you can reach out to your nearest embassy to enquire about the travel to North Macedonia visa requirements for your particular nationality. You can also make an appointment with the consular section to drop off your passport.

You can drop off your documents no more than 6 months and no less than 15 days before your date of travel. We would recommend contacting the embassy well ahead of time in case they’re booking appointments far in advance.

Once approved, get your bags packed and your camera ready. Your North Macedonian adventure awaits.

More Information on the Letter of Guarantee

A letter of guarantee is issued by a citizen of RNM or by a foreigner who has been granted legal residence in the country.

An invitation letter is issued by a legal entity registered in the Republic or by a state administrative body inviting a foreigner for a business visit.

In both cases, these documents provide proof that the inviting party will provide you with means of subsistence (accommodation, meals, etc.) and can assist you in your departure from the country.

If you’re staying in a hotel, then the Reservations section will be able to assist you in acquiring this document.

North Macedonia Visa Status Check

The embassy will contact you by email when a decision has been made regarding your application. If you wish to check the status of your document before this, you should reach out to your embassy’s consular section. Keep in mind, however, that embassies are not always able to give updates on applicants’ statuses by phone or email.

If you’re not able to go to the embassy to pick up your passport yourself, most consular sections will give your passport to a third party provided they present a valid ID and a written authorisation.

How Much Is a North Macedonia Tourist Visa?

Type C tourist authorisations are 60.00 EUR (70.00 USD) for adults and 35.00 EUR (41.00 USD) for children aged 6-12. This fee should be paid prior to your appointment at the embassy and proof of payment will be required as part of the application.

Money orders are accepted at most embassies. For specific payment details, please contact your embassy’s consular section.
