The information below concerns travelers who are nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland and Canada traveling to North Macedonia for a tourist stay. Entry rules may change, so we recommend that you verify the information with the official authorities before your departure.
Passport
To enter North Macedonia, your passport must be valid for a minimum of three months after your planned departure date and must contain at least one blank page for immigration stamps.
The document must be in good condition (no damaged, torn or altered pages).
Nationals of the European Union may also enter North Macedonia with a valid national identity card.
Tourist stay without visa
Nationals of the European Economic Area, Switzerland and Canada benefit from a visa exemption for tourist stays.
This exemption allows for a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period on Macedonian territory.
The authorities may also request:
an exit ticket from the territory (return or onward flight),
proof of sufficient financial resources for the duration of the stay,
an accommodation booking or an accommodation address on site.
Registration with local authorities
Any traveler staying in North Macedonia is required to register with the local authorities within 24 hours of arrival. In practice, this formality is generally completed automatically by the hotel or accommodation establishment.
In the case of a stay with a private individual (family, friend), the traveler or their host must complete this registration at the nearest police station. Failure to comply with this obligation may cause difficulties when crossing the border on exit from the territory.
Travel with children
Minors must hold their own valid travel document (passport or identity card for EU nationals) covering the duration of the stay.
In some European countries, when a minor travels without one of their parents, an authorization to leave the territory may be required according to the regulations of the country of residence.
