Best for: Bargain Balkan base with EU candidacy on the horizon.
North Macedonia is one of the cheapest countries in Europe and the Balkans' most under-mentioned nomad base. Skopje is the only realistic city; English thins fast outside the capital. EU candidacy means rules will likely shift over the next 5–10 years; lock in the cheap costs and visa-friendliness while they last.
Visa story
90-day visa-free for many passports; residency for longer stays.
Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
