North Macedonia has a legal framework for citizenship by investment. The route has a contested track record, so this page sets out the position plainly rather than promising an outcome.
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 widely reported nationality bar specific to Indian applicants, so Indian nationals are understood to be eligible to apply where the route is operating. Applicants must generally be at least 18 and pass due diligence, including documentation showing the absence of serious criminal convictions.
Because the route is contested, confirm with the official authority whether applications from Indian nationals are being accepted and processed before committing any money.
Two routes are reported. A contribution to an approved private investment fund, and a larger direct business investment that creates a set number of jobs for a defined period. An annual quota on approvals is also reported. Confirm the live routes, the holding periods and the quota with the official authority.
Marketing material reports a short processing window, but given the contested status that figure should not be relied on. Confirm the realistic timeline and the current operating status with the official authority before planning.
The figures below reflect amounts reported for the two routes. Treat them as indicative only and confirm the current amounts, holding periods and all fees with the official authority.
| Route | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Investment fund contribution | From EUR 200,000 | Reported holding period of at least two years. Confirm with the official authority |
| Direct business investment | From EUR 400,000 | Reported job creation condition. Confirm the number of jobs and the period with the official authority |
| Government and due diligence fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Application and processing fees apply |

There is no widely reported nationality bar specific to Indian applicants. Eligibility still depends on passing due diligence and on the route being open. Confirm with the official authority.
