Guide last updated September 25, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure from North Macedonia, with at least 2 blank pages
  • Completed North Macedonia visa application form
  • Two recent passport-size photos (35x45mm, white background)
  • Biometrics (fingerprints, photo) may be required at the responsible embassy or visa center handling applications from Kenya
  • Travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000 valid for the trip duration
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter) and a detailed travel itinerary
  • Proof of sufficient funds (bank statements for the last 3 months)
  • Proof of employment or business registration and return flight reservation
  • As North Macedonia has no embassy in Kenya, applications are typically routed through the nearest responsible mission (check mfa.gov.mk for the current designated embassy covering East Africa, commonly the mission in a neighboring region)

Visa types

  • Type C (short-stay) Tourist visa: single or multiple entry, max stay 90 days within any 180-day period, fee approximately EUR 60
  • Type C Business visa: same fee and stay structure, requires an invitation letter from the host company in North Macedonia
  • Type D (long-stay national visa): for work, study, or family reunification, processed separately with additional documentation, fee typically EUR 60-100 depending on category
  • Transit visa: for travelers passing through North Macedonia to a third country, reduced validity

How to apply

  • Identify the North Macedonian embassy or consulate responsible for handling applications from Kenya (via mfa.gov.mk) since there is no mission based in Kenya itself
  • Submit the completed application, passport, photos, insurance, and supporting documents either in person at the responsible mission or by courier where permitted
  • Pay the visa fee as instructed by the handling mission (bank transfer or in-person payment)
  • Consular officers review the application; an interview may be requested for first-time applicants or unclear itineraries
  • Once approved, the visa sticker is affixed to the passport and returned in person or via courier
  • Confirm the current designated mission and any updated document checklist directly with mfa.gov.mk before applying, since responsible-mission assignments can change

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately EUR 60 for adults, reduced or waived for children depending on age, payable to the handling mission
  • Courier/postal costs, where applicable due to the lack of a local mission, can add USD 50-100
  • Total estimated cost: roughly EUR 60-100 combined
  • Standard processing time: 10-15 working days from a complete application
  • No official express service; apply well ahead of travel given the added courier/mission-routing time

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Start the process at least 4-6 weeks before travel to account for courier transit time and standard processing
  • The most common rejection reasons are insufficient proof of funds, unclear travel purpose, or missing travel insurance documentation
  • Keep supporting financial and employment documents recent (within 1-3 months) and provide English or certified translations where needed
  • A verifiable hotel booking and return ticket significantly strengthen the application
  • Extensions of stay within North Macedonia are rarely granted for short-stay visas except in documented emergencies; plan the itinerary to fit within the visa validity
