Macedonian Citizenship
by a Special Scientific 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 – Scientific interest
According to our decree, a special scientific 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:
- Has achieved scientific-research results at the international level, which have been assessed as a significant benefit for the development of scientific-research activity.
- Performs scientific research activity and has: scientific degree Doctor of Science, published at least six scientific papers in a reference scientific publication in the last five years and participated as head of at least one domestic or international scientific research project.
- Is an innovator of inventions that are significant for the advancement of economic and scientific-technological development.
The existence of a special scientific interest based on these criteria is assessed by the Ministry of Education and Science, based on a previous expert assessment of a relevant scientific institution.
If you meet these criteria and are interested in acquiring citizenship of the Republic of North Macedonia through special scientific interest, please contact us for more information on the application process.
