Consular Section, Embassy of Japan in North Macedonia

The Consular Section of Japan’s Embassy in North Macedonia serves Japanese nationals in Skopje and publishes a procedure index for residents: passports, overseas residence registration, births, marriages, nationality, certificates, overseas voting, My Number and safety information. It also receives Japanese visa applications under the official eligibility rules. The mission identifies Setsuko Kawahara as Ambassador.

Address: Filip Vtori Makedonski 3, Soravia Center, sixth floor, 1000 Skopje. Telephone +389 2 3118 063; general email info@sk.mofa.go.jp. Consular counter hours on working days are 8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 1:30–4:00 p.m. The Embassy lists separate emergency contacts for serious incidents and assistance to Japanese nationals outside normal hours. Confirm appointments, documents and closure dates before travelling.

Published services include ordinary passports and online applications subject to overseas-residence registration; emergency travel documents for returning to Japan after passport loss; residence, birth, marriage/divorce, marriage-eligibility, police, translation, signature and fingerprint certificates; civil and nationality filings; overseas residence registration, voting and My Number; and visa guidance. Required documents and timing differ, and some certificates must be collected in person. Apostilles are not issued by the Embassy.

The mission’s visa page says North Macedonian nationals may make visa-free visits of up to 90 days for short-term, non-remunerated purposes, while work or longer stays require another category. Holders of other passports are advised to contact the Embassy. Google Maps rating and review-count figures are omitted because they could not be verified as belonging unambiguously to the exact Soravia Center listing.
