What it means in practice
90 days is about three months. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 29 January 2027, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

How to avoid overstaying
- Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
- Plan to leave a day or two early. With 90 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
- Extend before you run out. For longer stays apply for temporary residence at the Ministry of Interior before your permitted stay ends.
- Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for North Macedonia. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
