North Macedonia visa and entry requirements for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, NZ and Irish citizens

All listed citizens may travel to North Macedonia without a visa for short tourism or business trips. The stay limit is 90 days, and the passport must remain valid for three months after the planned exit. No pre‑flight eTA is needed.

When arriving by air or land, present a biometric passport from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland. Border officials will check the passport’s validity and may ask for proof of onward travel or sufficient funds, though this is rarely enforced for short stays.

If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, you must apply for a residence permit at the Ministry of Interior in Skopje or at a Macedonian diplomatic mission before travel.

Travelers should carry travel insurance covering medical expenses, as the public health system requires payment up‑front for non‑residents.

The 90‑day limit is cumulative across the Schengen‑area and North Macedonia; time spent in Schengen countries counts toward the total.

If your passport expires within three months of your intended departure, you will be denied entry.

No electronic travel authorisation (eTA) system exists for North Macedonia as of 2026; any website offering one is unofficial.
