North Macedonia operates a citizenship by investment route tied to a state approved fund or a direct investment that creates jobs. Egyptian nationals can apply, subject to due diligence. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
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.
Egyptian nationals are eligible to apply. There is no reported nationality bar for Egyptians. Approval depends on the qualifying investment and on passing due diligence checks, not on nationality.
Applicants must generally be adults of good character who can show the lawful source of their funds. Confirm the live eligibility rules and any exclusions with the official authority.
Two routes are commonly described. The first is an investment into a private fund approved under North Macedonian law, held for a set period. The second is a larger direct investment into new facilities that employ a minimum number of people. Confirm the current routes, the exact holding periods and the live figures with the official authority before committing any money.
Processing times are not consistently published and the route has a limited track record. Plan conservatively and confirm current scheduling with the official authority. There is generally no long residence requirement before citizenship under this route, but you should verify this directly.
The figures below are indicative entry points reported for the two routes. Treat them as a starting point only and confirm the current amounts, fees and conditions with the official authority.
