Highlights
Macedonia is a rapidly developing country in Southeastern Europe. It has a very favorable business environment with one of the lowest business taxes on the continent. The country is a candidate for EU membership, and a Macedonian passport grants you and your family visa-free access to the Schengen zone. The Macedonian investment residency program stands out with its short processing time of around 3 weeks.
Family
When your permit is granted, you, your spouse and dependent children can also gain residency based on the family reunification procedure.
Program description
By investing in a Macedonian company, you will receive a residence permit within 3 weeks of submitting your application. This permit allows you to ask for permanent residency after 3 years of being a legal resident, and for Macedonian citizenship after 8 years.
Travel options
Thanks to a bilateral agreement, those holding a Macedonian passport can travel visa-free to almost 100 countries, including the whole Schengen zone and most countries in Europe. When Macedonia joins the EU, the number of visa-free countries is expected to grow significantly.
