What happens at the border

Apply for a visa at a Macedonian embassy
Contact the nearest Macedonian embassy or consulate (likely in South Africa, Kenya, or Ethiopia). Submit the completed application form, passport, photos, flight itinerary, accommodation proof, and travel insurance. Pay the visa fee (€35–€60). Processing takes 5–15 working days.

Collect your visa and prepare for travel
Once approved, collect your passport with the visa sticker. Make copies of the visa page and keep them separate from your passport. Book your flights and accommodation if not already done.

At the airport or land border, present your passport with the valid visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. Have them ready. They will stamp you in — usually for up to 90 days within 180 days, but check your visa conditions.
