Macedonian Citizenship
by a Special Interest
Introduction
A foreigner who is over 18 years old and does not pose a threat to the security of the country may be eligible to acquire citizenship through naturalization if it is determined to be of special scientific, economic, cultural, sports, or other national interest.
The Government of the Republic of North Macedonia has established criteria for determining what constitutes special interest for the purpose of naturalization. The government will also provide an opinion on the existence of special interest in individual cases.
In some cases, the marital partner of a foreigner may also be eligible to acquire citizenship by naturalization under the same conditions.
If you believe you may be eligible for naturalization, we encourage you to learn more about the process and submit a request for citizenship. We are here to support you and answer any questions you may have.
Special interest – Cultural interest
According to our decree, a special cultural interest exists if a foreigner who has submitted a request for the acquisition of citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia meets one of the following criteria:
- With their creativity and their activities over the last five years, they have continuously realized creative activity with top artistic values in the field of fine arts, music and dance, film and drama.
- Is a top expert in matters related to the immediate protection of cultural heritage.
- Is an artist who belongs to the scarce artistic staff of the Republic of North Macedonia.
The existence of a special cultural interest based on these criteria is assessed by the Ministry of Culture.
If you meet these criteria and are interested in acquiring citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia through special cultural interest, please contact our office for more information on the application process.
