When scores are tied, it first compares the number of visa-free destinations, then destinations accessible with electronic travel authorization, and finally visa-on-arrival destinations.

About North Macedonia

North Macedonia is a landlocked country in the central Balkan Peninsula. It is bordered by Kosovo, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Albania. The landscape is dominated by mountains, valleys, and the large Lake Ohrid. The country sits at a crossroads of Mediterranean and continental influences.

Skopje, the capital, combines Ottoman-era heritage with modern architecture. Daily life often centers around family, coffee culture, and traditional cuisine. Markets and pedestrian streets buzz with activity in the warmer months. The country maintains a relaxed pace outside the main urban centers.

North Macedonia has pursued closer integration with European and transatlantic institutions. It has worked to resolve historical and naming disputes with neighboring countries. Regional cooperation in the Balkans remains an important aspect of its foreign policy. The country contributes to stability and economic ties in Southeastern Europe.
