Mexican citizens can in principle apply for North Macedonian citizenship through an economic contribution recognised as being in the national interest. This page sets out the legal basis, the routes, and the cautions to weigh before you act.
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.
Naturalisation on grounds of special economic interest is set out in the Law on Citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia, with the decision resting with the Minister of the Interior. The route is open to foreign nationals generally, and no blanket exclusion of Mexican citizens is published, so nationality alone does not appear to bar an application.
Applicants must be at least eighteen, must pass due diligence on character and on the source of funds, and must not be considered a risk to national security. Mexico permits multiple nationality, so acquiring another citizenship does not by itself force you to give up your Mexican passport. Confirm both positions with the official authority and a licensed professional.
Two contribution routes are commonly described. The first is a subscription into a private investment fund established under North Macedonian law, held for a minimum period. The second is a direct investment into new business facilities that creates a set number of jobs in the country.
Each route carries its own minimum, holding period and conditions, and an annual cap on approvals has been reported. Verify the route, the cap and every condition with the Ministry before transferring any money.
Unlike a residency programme, this route is described as granting citizenship without a prior residence period. Reported processing runs in the range of several months from a complete application to a decision, subject to due diligence and government approval.
Because the framework has faced implementation questions, real timelines may differ from published estimates. Plan for variation and confirm the current position with the official authority.
Beyond the qualifying contribution itself, expect government and processing charges, due diligence fees, and professional and translation costs. The table below lists the headline items. Confirm every current figure with the Ministry, since amounts and conditions can change.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Private investment fund route | From 200,000 EUR per adult | Held in an approved local fund for a minimum period |
| Direct business investment route | From 400,000 EUR per adult | New facilities that create at least ten jobs |
| Annual approval cap | Reported at 1,000 applicants per year | Confirm the current quota with the official authority |
| Government and processing fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Charged per application |
| Due diligence and professional fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Varies by adviser and family size |
