North Macedonia has an investor citizenship framework that has changed repeatedly. This page sets out the reported position for American nationals so you can plan with care.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
There is no reported nationality bar for US citizens. Eligibility turns on making an approved investment and passing checks rather than on nationality. Because the framework has been paused and amended more than once, confirm that the route is open and that Americans are being accepted before you commit any funds.
Reported options include an investment into an approved private fund and a larger direct investment that creates local jobs. Independent coverage notes limited evidence of passports being issued under the investor route. Verify the live rules and any approved project list with the Ministry of the Interior.
Marketing materials cite a short processing window of a few months, but actual outcomes have been questioned. Do not rely on advertised speed. Confirm realistic timelines with the official authority.
The figures below are reported amounts that have appeared in program materials. Because the route is contested, treat them as provisional and confirm with the authority.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Approved fund investment | From EUR 200,000 | Reported figure held for a set period. Confirm the current rules with the authority |
| Direct investment with job creation | From EUR 400,000 | Reported figure tied to employing local staff. Confirm with the authority |
| Government and due diligence fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Additional fees apply |
