North Macedonia Citizenship by Investment

To begin the process of obtaining citizenship by investment in North Macedonia, you must work with a registered Authorized Agent. This is a mandatory step because applications submitted without an authorized agent are not accepted. The agent will act on your behalf to submit all necessary documents to the government.

Next, gather all required documents, including your valid passport, national ID card, birth certificate, criminal record certificates from all countries where you have lived in the past ten years, your CV, and a medical certificate confirming you have no communicable diseases. Complete the application form and submit everything through your authorized agent.

After submitting the documents, the government will review your file. This pre-approval step usually takes one to two months. During this time, they will check your background and make sure you meet all the criteria. Once you get the green light, you're ready to invest.

Now you will need to complete the investment condition. You can invest €200,000 in a government-approved development fund and keep it there for at least two years. If you prefer a business route, you can invest €400,000 in a new company in North Macedonia and create at least ten full-time jobs.

The final phase involves waiting for full approval, which usually takes six to eight months. You will be required to travel to North Macedonia to submit biometric data such as fingerprints and pay the application fees. Once everything is complete, you will be officially granted North Macedonian citizenship. The program also allows you to include your spouse and dependent children, and dual citizenship is permitted.
