  • Completed national visa application form (similar format to the Schengen application)
  • 2 recent biometric passport photos, 35x45mm, white background

  • Business visa - requires invitation letter from a Macedonian company, same fee band
  • Transit visa - for short stopovers, lower fee around EUR 30-35
  • Multiple-entry visa for frequent travelers - validity up to 1 year, issued at consular discretion

How to apply

  • Locate the nearest North Macedonian embassy or an authorized visa application centre, as there is no mission in Pakistan - applications are typically routed through a regional embassy (e.g., in the UAE or Turkey)
  • Book an appointment and complete the application form with all supporting documents
  • Attend in person for biometric enrollment and document submission
  • Pay the visa fee in the local currency equivalent or by bank transfer as instructed
  • Standard processing takes 15 calendar days from the date of submission
  • Collect the passport with the visa sticker in person or via authorized courier return

Fees & processing time

  • Tourist/business visa fee: approx EUR 60-65 (around USD 65-70)
  • Transit visa fee: approx EUR 30-35
  • Additional courier/handling fee if applying through a regional visa centre: USD 20-40
  • Total estimated cost: USD 85-150 depending on route
  • Standard processing time: 15 calendar days
  • Expedited processing is not generally offered for Pakistani applicants

Tips for Pakistan travelers

  • Apply at least 4-6 weeks ahead since travel to a regional embassy and courier handling adds time beyond the 15-day processing window
  • Common rejection reasons: insufficient bank balance, unclear travel purpose, incomplete insurance documentation
  • Consider applying via a Schengen-experienced visa agent since North Macedonia's checklist closely mirrors Schengen requirements
  • Check current entry rules, as North Macedonia periodically updates its visa list for South Asian nationals
  • Extensions inside North Macedonia are only granted in exceptional circumstances through the Ministry of Interior
