Philippines to North Macedonia visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit North Macedonia for tourism. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa, so you must obtain a Type C short-stay visa from a North Macedonian diplomatic mission before traveling. Important shortcut: if you already hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen, US, UK or Canada visa (or EU/Schengen residence permit), you may enter North Macedonia visa-free for up to 15 days per entry. As of 2026, the Philippines is NOT on North Macedonia's visa-exemption list, so a Filipino ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa before arrival for a short tourist stay. North Macedonia is a candidate EU country but is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering North Macedonia itself. The standard route is a Type C (short-stay) visa, valid for visits up to 90 days, applied for at a North Macedonian embassy/consulate; North Macedonia has no resident embassy in the Philippines, so applications are typically handled through the accredited missions in Beijing or Tokyo (confirm jurisdiction in advance). A widely used alternative: holders of a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa (valid at least 5 days beyond the intended stay), a valid US/UK/Canada visa (under a temporary measure in force 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2026), or temporary/permanent residence in an EU/Schengen state may enter visa-free for up to 15 days per entry, within an overall 90-days-in-180 limit. The standard Type C visa fee is around EUR 60. Conservatively, the verdict is visa-required because there is no confirmed independent visa-free, visa-on-arrival or eVisa channel for the Philippine passport alone.
