North Macedonia citizenship by investment for British nationals

British citizens are not barred from North Macedonia citizenship by investment in principle, since the United Kingdom permits dual nationality. The problem is practical. The investment vehicles are widely reported as not operating. We publish this so the position is clear.

Reviewed by the Passports for Kings editorial team. Last reviewed 6 June 2026.
This route is reported closed, paused or not currently available: The investment vehicles for North Macedonia citizenship by investment are reported as suspended in practice, with no approvals confirmed under the investment category. Do not rely on advertised figures or timelines.. We publish this page so the position is clear. Do not rely on older figures.

Eligibility for this nationality

There is no specific bar on British applicants, and the United Kingdom allows its citizens to hold another nationality. On paper the programme is described as open to foreign investors who pass checks and show lawful funds. In practice, the route is reported as not delivering approvals, so eligibility is academic for now.

Routes

When described in marketing, two routes appear: an investment of EUR 200,000 placed in an approved private investment fund for at least two years, or a direct business investment of EUR 400,000 that employs at least ten people. We list these only to show what is advertised.

Because the practical vehicles are reported as suspended and no approvals have been confirmed, do not treat these figures as a route you can complete today. Confirm the position directly with the Government of North Macedonia.

Timeline

Marketing historically quoted roughly six to eight months, but with the route reported as not operating there is no dependable timeline. Any firm promising a fixed timeline should be treated with caution.

Costs

Because the route is reported as not practically available, published cost figures cannot be relied on. Do not pay deposits against an advertised programme without confirming the current legal position with the official authority and a licensed professional.

What to do instead

If a confirmed second citizenship is your goal, compare programmes that are demonstrably open and processing applications. We can introduce you to a vetted independent advisor who can explain which routes are currently active. Use Get Matched below.

Common questions

Can a British national get North Macedonia citizenship by investment now?

Reporting indicates the investment vehicles are not operating and no approvals have been confirmed. Treat it as not currently available and confirm with the Government of North Macedonia before paying anyone.

Would the United Kingdom allow me to hold both passports?

The United Kingdom permits dual nationality, so holding a second citizenship is generally allowed. That does not change the fact that the North Macedonia route is reported as not practically available.

What is a safer alternative?

Look at citizenship or residence programmes that are confirmed open and processing. Use Get Matched to reach a vetted independent advisor who can outline active routes.
