Detalhes do programa

North Macedonia's citizenship by investment program was established in 2021, offering what appeared to be an attractive path to European citizenship in an EU candidate country. However, the program's operational status has remained problematic since its inception.

Program Status

CAUTION: Effectively Suspended. While legislation exists, there is no evidence of successful applications being processed since the 2021 launch. No citizenships have been granted through the investment fund route, and the government has not provided an explanation for this.

Investment Options (if operational)

Private Fund Deposit: EUR 200,000, hold for 2 years minimum
Direct Business Investment: EUR 400,000 with new company creating 10+ employees

Processing & Timeline

If the program were operational, processing would take 2-5 months.

Benefits (Potential)

EU candidate country (accession negotiations ongoing since 2005)
Schengen visa-free access (90 days)
European passport
Low cost of living

Family Inclusion

Spouse
Children under 18

Important Notes

The European Commission has specifically urged North Macedonia to avoid systematic citizenship grants based on investment alone as part of its EU accession requirements. The program receives only 5-10 applications per year, with none processed to completion. Prospective applicants should verify current operational status before proceeding and consider alternative programs with proven track records.
