No official source we could read states an onward-ticket check for visa-free visitors.

  7. Proof of funds

    No official source we could read states the amount. North Macedonia's Law on Foreigners says a foreigner intending to stay no longer than 90 days in any 180-day period is admitted if, among other conditions, they justify the purpose and conditions of the stay and have means of subsistence for the stay and for the return home or transit; the Government sets the amount, and means can be assessed on the basis of cash, traveller's cheques and credit cards owned by the foreigner, among others. The Foreign Ministry lists proof of sufficient resources for the stay (credit card/bank statement) among the documents for a short-stay (C) visa.

  8. Travel insurance

    North Macedonia's Foreign Ministry says a visa applicant must provide proof of travel medical insurance for the entire duration of the stay. No official source we could read makes insurance a condition of entry for visa-free visitors.
