North Macedonia has a citizenship by investment provision in law, but its real world operation has been contested. This page sets out what is reported and where to confirm the current position 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.
There is no reported nationality bar specific to Vietnam. Where the route operates, eligibility rests on a qualifying investment and on passing due diligence rather than on nationality.
Because the practical operation of the scheme has been uncertain, Vietnamese applicants should confirm whether the route is genuinely accepting and processing applications before spending any money. Do not rely on marketing claims.
Public reporting describes two broad options in the law. One is a contribution to a state approved private investment fund held for a set period. The other is a larger direct investment in new facilities that creates a number of local jobs. The exact terms have shifted over time, so confirm the current routes and conditions with the official authority.
Marketing often advertises very fast processing, but the route has a limited track record of actual passport issuance. Do not plan around a short timeline. Confirm with the official authority whether applications are being received, processed and granted at all before committing.
The figures below reflect public reporting of the legal thresholds. They are indicative only and the scheme has been subject to change. Confirm the current amounts, fees and the live status with the official authority before acting.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Private investment fund | From EUR 200,000 | Reported fund route held for a set period. Confirm the current figure and status with the official authority |
| Direct investment in new facilities | From EUR 400,000 | Reported route tied to local job creation. Confirm the current figure with the official authority |
| Government and due diligence fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Application and processing fees apply where the route operates |
Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Government of the Republic of North Macedonia publishes the binding detail. Verify before you act.
In law there is provision for it, and there is no reported nationality bar for Vietnam. In practice the route has a limited track record, so confirm with the official authority whether it is genuinely processing and granting applications before acting.
Its status has been contested. Reports point to repeated changes and few or no passports issued under the investment route. Verify the live position with the official authority rather than relying on agency marketing.
North Macedonia nationals have certain travel access, but you should not assume any specific benefit until the route is confirmed to operate and a passport is actually issued. Confirm both the status and any travel claims independently.
