Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner establish a company in North Macedonia?
Yes, under the same conditions as domestic persons and with no ownership restrictions. Documents from your home country need to be properly certified and translated.
Do I have to travel to North Macedonia for the registration?
No. With a properly organised power of attorney, the entire procedure can be completed without your physical presence.
How long does the whole process take?
The registration itself in the Central Registry normally takes a few working days; timelines for bank accounts and permits depend on the institutions and document readiness. You receive a realistic timeline at the first call.
