North Macedonia: PSA

Hi , i was doing a 2 week Balkan trip . ( i have an Indian passport with an American green card ( PR ) .

I was denied entry into North Macedonia because the green card is a physical card and not a visa stamped into the passport .

If you are planning to travel to North Macedonia based on the face that it allows visa free entry to individuals with an american visa - Pls note that the visa has to be a physical visa printed/ stuck onto your passport and not a Green card.

However i was given entry into Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania with the physical green card .

Hope this saves somebody the ordeal i faced today of driving from Tirana to Lake Orhid but being sent back at the border.
