Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in North Macedonia. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by law, but airlines sometimes enforce a 3-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from North Macedonia | Immigration officers at Skopje Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host covers this — keep a copy on your phone or printed. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during the stay | You might be asked to show you have enough money for your trip. Around €50–€100 per day is a safe benchmark — carry a bank statement or credit card that proves access to funds. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you won't be allowed to fly.
No visa, no registration needed
Peruvian passport holders can enter North Macedonia visa-free for up to 90 days. No pre-arrival registration or police reporting is required.
