Permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, sightseeing, and leisure purposes.
The Short-Stay Visa for Tourism (Type C) is a foundational element of North Macedonia’s visa framework, designed to facilitate international tourism and brief visits. Established to align with standard international travel practices, this visa fills the gap for foreign nationals who wish to visit the country for leisure, sightseeing, or short-term personal engagements without establishing residency. It allows for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, providing a structured mechanism for the government to vet visitors while encouraging the growth of the national tourism sector.
This visa is designed for tourists, travelers, and individuals visiting friends or family who do not qualify for visa-free entry. It is particularly suited for those planning to explore North Macedonia's cultural heritage, natural landscapes, or urban centers. What makes this visa distinctive is its flexibility, as it covers a wide range of short-term purposes beyond pure tourism, such as business meetings or medical consultations, provided the total duration remains within the defined 90-day limit.
