North Macedonia has an economic interest route to citizenship that is open to applicants from most countries including Brazil. The programme has had a stop and start history, so the current position matters. This page sets out the routes and the official source.
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.
The North Macedonia economic interest citizenship route is open to applicants from most countries, and Brazilian nationals can apply. There is no residence or language requirement under this route, and multiple citizenship is allowed.
Because the programme has been paused and restarted and its delivery has been questioned, confirm the current status and any conditions with the official authority before you act.
Two options are described. The first is an investment of at least EUR 200,000 in an approved private investment fund, held for at least two years, where returns are not guaranteed. The second is a direct investment of at least EUR 400,000 in new business facilities that employ at least ten people for a set period.
An annual quota has applied to approvals. Confirm the current routes, quota and conditions with the official authority.
Marketing materials describe a short processing window, but actual passport issuance under this route has been limited and contested. Do not rely on advertised timelines. Confirm the current processing time and status with the official authority.
Plan for the qualifying investment, government and due diligence fees and professional help, and treat the fund route as carrying real financial risk since the capital is held and returns are not guaranteed.
We do not name or recommend firms. To compare vetted advisors for a Brazilian application, use Get Matched, and agree a written scope and fee first.
