Short-Term Service Provider Registration in North Macedonia

ESARM states that it issues certificates for registration of specified short-term services provided by foreign citizens that do not require a work permit.

Categories listed by ESARM

The official page identifies creative services in culture, services for trade fairs, short-term services by foreign citizens, work by foreign citizens residing for study purposes, and emergency services.

Not a generic freelancer or digital-nomad visa

This mechanism should not be expanded into an open freelance, self-employment or remote-work immigration route. The official material describes a limited registration/certificate mechanism for specified short-term services.

Someone planning continuing self-employment or management of a local business should instead examine the self-employment/company-owner residence route. Local employment belongs under employment residence.
