North Macedonia does not follow your UAE residence. The entry rule follows the passport. The one rule we could read says British citizens can visit for up to 3 months without a visa. For any other passport, we check the rule before you book. The embassy of North Macedonia sits in Abu Dhabi.
The rule we read
The UK government entry page says British citizens can visit North Macedonia for up to 3 months without a visa, and for longer they contact the Macedonian embassy. UK refugee travel document holders need a visa. We could not open the Macedonian foreign ministry's own visa page, so we state no rule for Indian, Filipino, Egyptian or other passports and check each one with you.
Costs
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Visa for British passports, up to 3 months | None |
| Visa for other passports | Check with us, not read |
| Dubai agency price range | None shown |

Carry these
- Passport with an expiry date at least 90 days after arrival
- Accommodation booking for the first nights
- Return or onward ticket
- UAE residence permit and Emirates ID
- Airline papers for children travelling alone or with one parent
Declare foreign currency of EUR 10,000 or more.
Register with the police
You must register with the local police in the town where you stay within 48 hours of arrival. A hotel does this at check-in. In a private flat or a relative's home you do it yourself, because skipping it can bring fines, detention or limits on re-entry.
Getting there from Dubai
North Macedonia is outside Schengen, so you do not pass a Schengen border on arrival. The UK page also warns that the EU's Entry/Exit System can make waits longer at Schengen borders, which matters if you connect through a Schengen airport.
Embassy in the UAE
The UAE foreign ministry directory lists the Embassy of the Republic of North Macedonia in Abu Dhabi, ambassador HE Abdulkadar Memedi. It lists no consular services. Ask the embassy which passports it handles before you drive there.
How it works with us
Message us on WhatsApp or use the form here with your passport copy and trip dates. An adviser checks the rule for your passport, tells you if a visa is needed and gives one total price. The team prepares and files it. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service, and North Macedonian authorities decide.
Fees paid to a government are not returned after a refusal. Before you pay, your adviser writes down what part of our total, if any, comes back.
