This page explains how citizenship of North Macedonia by investment is presented for Turkish nationals, the qualifying routes, and where to confirm the current rules.
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.
North Macedonia grants citizenship for an economic interest under its nationality law, and the route is open in principle to applicants of most nationalities, including Turkish nationals. There is no separate exclusion published for Turkey, but every file is decided case by case and subject to background and source of funds checks.
Turkey permits its citizens to hold another nationality, and North Macedonia does not require you to renounce your Turkish citizenship to be naturalised through this route. Confirm both positions in writing before you commit, since rules on dual nationality can change.
Two investment pathways are described in public guidance. The first is a subscription of EUR 200,000 into an approved private investment fund, held for at least two years. The second is a direct investment of EUR 400,000 into a new facility that employs at least ten people on an open ended basis, with hospitality excluded.
Reporting on the lower fund route has noted that approvals under it have been limited, so treat its availability as something to verify with the authority rather than assume. Do not rely on a figure or a route until the official source confirms it applies to your situation.
Public guidance points to a processing window of roughly six to eight months once a complete file is submitted, though timing varies with due diligence and the volume of applications. Treat any timeline as indicative and confirm it with the official authority.
The qualifying investment is the largest line, and government, legal and due diligence costs sit on top. Use the table as an indicative guide only and confirm every figure with the official source before you act.
