North Macedonia has not opened this visa, and there is nowhere to apply. The Government Work Programme 2024-2028, a June 2024 working version still published by the Government, says it will introduce a renewable residence visa for foreigners who want to live in the country for between 3 and 12 months, if they already have remote work for an employer abroad and regular monthly income. No law sets the income amount, a fee, a document list, a nationality limit or an application channel. The Law on Foreigners, including the amendment in Official Gazette 193/2025, still has no remote-work ground. Temporary residence for work is employment, seasonal work, a posting, or work on a strategic project. A short stay, with or without a visa, is at most 90 days in any 180-day period. Ordinary personal income tax is 10% on all income except gambling winnings, which are 15%. A resident is taxed on income in North Macedonia and abroad. Tax residence is a permanent home, or 183 days or more in any 12-month period. The same programme promises a separate legal category, and income-based tax relief, for people who work remotely through digital platforms. That freelancer plan is not this visa and it is not in force. Figures such as €1,500 a month or a US$50 fee do not appear in the programme or the law. A type C visa is €60 and a type D visa is €70. Those are ordinary visa fees, not a fee for this programme.
