# North Macedonia's digital nomad visa: no dedicated visa > North Macedonia has no dedicated digital nomad visa. What that means for remote workers, the closest route that does exist, and the official source — checked 2026-08-18. Source: https://doastretch.com/nomad-visa/north-macedonia/ North Macedonia · digital nomad visa · 2026 North Macedonia has no dedicated digital nomad visa. Here is what that means in practice, what route remote workers actually use, and how the days are counted. Next step **How we know** Every figure here is as mvr.gov.mk publishes it, checked 18 August 2026. Where a number is our own arithmetic rather than a printed figure, the row says so. Sources are listed further down the page. ## What to know before you apply No dedicated digital nomad visa exists and no draft was traceable. A full-text search of the consolidated Law on Foreigners for "digital", "nomad" and "remote" returned zero hits; the Ministry of the Interior's residence-permit checklists cover only marriage, employment, permanent residence, family reunification, study and posted workers; and the Public Revenue Office's site search returns no records for digital nomads, so there is no nomad tax regime either. Real long-stay routes: temporary residence under Art. 71 for work, study, exchange, specialisation, volunteering, research, medical treatment, family reunification or humanitarian reasons, plus a route for EU or OECD nationals who own residential property worth at least EUR 40,000. Art. 72 requires means of subsistence, accommodation and health insurance with no published income figure; residence is extended a year at a time and decided within 30 working days. Visas are only three types, and the D visa allows a stay of up to 30 days with validity up to 90, issued only after the residence decision. Fees: D visa EUR 70, C visa EUR 60 (children 6-12: EUR 35). Unresolved: the official gazette's 2025 register lists an amendment to the Law on Foreigners at Sl. vesnik 193/2025 which the Ministry does not list and the consolidated text does not incorporate; the gazette text is paywalled, so its content is unknown — there is no evidence it concerns digital nomads and none that it does not. ## What it means for your tax days A visa is permission to stay; tax residency follows the days you actually spend. Check North Macedonia's tax authority for the day test that applies to you — and count the days either way. ## Sources - [mvr.gov.mk](https://mvr.gov.mk/mk-MK/legislativa/zakoni/zakoni-mvr) — official source, checked 2026-08-18 - [portal.mdt.gov.mk](https://portal.mdt.gov.mk/post-body-files/zakoni-mvr-file-UtsW.pdf) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 - [mfa.gov.mk](https://mfa.gov.mk/mk-MK/konzularni-uslugi/vidovi-vizi-za-vlez-vo-rsm) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 - [ujp.gov.mk](https://ujp.gov.mk/mk/prebaruvanje/pronajdi) (official), retrieved 2026-08-18 ## Questions people ask about North Macedonia **Does North Macedonia have a digital nomad visa?** No. North Macedonia has no dedicated digital nomad visa.

Check North Macedonia's tax authority for the day test that applies to you. **How does Stretch help with the North Macedonia stay?** Log the day you land and Stretch counts the days against the permission you are on, shows the date you must be out, and reminds you at 14, 7, 3 and 1 days. It also tallies the days that count towards tax residency, so the 183-day question answers itself. The counting and the alerts are free, forever.
