North Macedonia is not a member of the European Union or the Schengen Area, but it maintains visa-free arrangements with many countries and is a candidate for EU membership.
EU nationals: Citizens of EU and EEA countries can enter North Macedonia with a valid passport or national ID card for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
Non-EU nationals: Travellers must hold a valid passport issued within the past ten years and valid for at least three months beyond the intended stay. You may also be asked to show proof of accommodation, return travel, and sufficient funds.
You must register with the local police in the town or city where you're staying within 48 hours of your arrival in North Macedonia. If you're staying in a hotel, staff will register you at check-in. Keep the registration document with you until you leave North Macedonia. If you have registered with the police directly, you must de-register 24 hours before you leave the country.
Passport and visa regulations are subject to change, and airlines may have different requirements. Information is correct at the time of publishing; travellers should check with the relevant embassy before departure, particularly when transiting through a third country.
