North Macedonia has a citizenship by investment framework, but its real world track record is contested. Nigerian citizens considering it should treat published figures with care and confirm the current position with the official authority.
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.
No public rule was found that excludes Nigerian citizens by nationality from the North Macedonia investment citizenship route. General conditions reported include being over 18, holding a clean criminal record and making a qualifying economic investment that is held for a set period.
Because the programme is contested in practice, eligibility on paper does not guarantee a passport in hand. Confirm what is actually being processed today with the official authority before committing funds.
The framework has been described as offering an investment into a private investment fund held for a fixed term, or a larger direct investment into a new company that creates local jobs, with some business sectors excluded. The exact thresholds, holding periods and excluded sectors should be confirmed with the Ministry of the Interior rather than taken from advisory summaries, since the route is contested.
Promotional materials cite a short processing window, but independent confirmation of completed cases is limited. Do not plan around an advertised timeline. Ask the authority what realistic processing looks like for applications being decided now.
Beyond any qualifying investment there would be government, due diligence and professional fees. Published amounts vary between sources and the programme is contested, so confirm every figure with the official authority before relying on it.

| Qualifying investment | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Route is contested in practice |
