North Macedonia

Conditional

Issuer: Municipality or site manager for commercial productions; no permit for personal street photography

Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial crews need location clearances

Personal photography needs no permit. Commercial shoots coordinate with municipalities; the North Macedonia Film Agency handles incoming productions. Ohrid's churches and Sveti Naum set their own interior photography rules.

National rules via the Civil Aviation Agency: free online operator registration is required (including for foreigners), flights must be announced to the agency in advance, VLOS only, with licensing for heavier or commercial operations

Flight announcements are expected at least 24 hours ahead. For detail, see Drone Authority.

Yes to photograph; publishing a recognizable person generally needs consent under personality-rights principles

Data-protection law follows the European model; public events and journalism are the practical exceptions.

Yes for architecture and sculpture; not for 2D works

Article 52.1.11 of the 2010 Law on Copyright and Related Rights permits use of architectural and sculptural works permanently located in public places (streets, squares, parks) without payment. The exception does not extend to 2D works such as murals and maps still under copyright. Note also that reproducing Macedonian banknotes requires central-bank permission.
