Immigration to North Macedonia for Eswatini citizenship

Any foreigner, that will invest over 500 000 Euros into Macedonian real estate, or will create a company with workplaces, has the right to obtain a permanent residence permit in Macedonia. A permanent residence permit will also be issued to a foreigner residing on the territory of the Republic of North Macedonia not less than 5 years on the basis of a temporary residence permit. 

All the required documents and the procedure of issuance of the permit can be found on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: https://mvr.gov.mk/ 

If, as an adult, you voluntarily acquire the citizenship of the country in which you live, after you have complied with the requirements of the laws of that country, then you have acquired citizenship by naturalization. In Macedonia, naturalization can be based primarily on the number of years of legal residence or marriage to a Macedonian citizen. If you acquire Macedonian citizenship through naturalization, your minor children will also receive the same citizenship, but remember that you need to include their details in the Macedonian citizenship application.

How to apply?

You must personally submit a completed application form (provided free of charge in each territorial unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) to the regional unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at your place of residence.

Contribution

In this case, you must pay an administrative fee of 100 euros. Before submitting the application, you need to pay 20 euros and enclose with the application a confirmation from the post office/bank that you have paid it. You must pay the remaining 80 euros if you are getting Macedonian citizenship before you collect your decision from the regional office of the Ministry of the Interior. And for this you need to provide a receipt from the post office/bank.
