North Macedonia operates an economic citizenship route that has been paused and revised at various points. This page sets out the current position for Filipino nationals and points you to 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.
Filipino nationals are not subject to a specific bar under the North Macedonia route and could apply on the same basis as other foreign applicants when the route is open. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, pass background checks and document the lawful source of their funds.
The route grants citizenship without a residence or language requirement when active, but it has been paused and revised more than once. Treat its availability as conditional and confirm the live position with the official authority.
Published guidance describes two routes. The first is a subscription into a private investment fund established under North Macedonia law, held for a set period. The second is a larger direct investment into new facilities that create a set number of jobs for a minimum period.
Reporting also describes an annual cap on the number of approvals. Because the programme has changed repeatedly, treat any single figure as indicative and confirm the current routes, amounts and quota with the official authority.
When the route is open, published guidance describes processing in a matter of months. Given the history of suspensions, confirm both the current processing time and whether applications are being accepted with the official authority.
The main cost is the qualifying investment or fund subscription, plus government and due diligence charges and independent professional fees. We do not name or recommend firms. Use Get Matched to compare vetted advisors, and ask for a written scope and fee before you engage anyone.
