Do France passport holders need a visa to visit MK?

French ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for North Macedonia. You can stay visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism or short visits. As an EU/Schengen citizen, a French ordinary passport holder enjoys visa-free entry to North Macedonia for short stays. The maximum is 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. North Macedonia is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so this is a separate national allowance that does not consume your Schengen 90/180 quota, and you pass independent North Macedonian border control. French citizens may enter using either a valid passport or a national identity card. No visa, eVisa, or pre-travel authorization (such as ETIAS) is required for North Macedonia. Tourists are technically required to register with local police within 48 hours of arrival, though hotels and licensed accommodation normally handle this automatically. For stays beyond 90 days or for work/study, a national (Type D) visa or residence permit is required.
