In brief
This concerns a non-citizen’s local residence permission. A permanent residence card is not citizenship. North Macedonia has its own rules: do not import EU free-movement or another country’s absence rules.

Identify the Ministry’s foreigners jurisdiction
Next stepThe Interior Ministry routes temporary/permanent residence, departure and return questions to border affairs and migration and relevant foreigners inspectorates. Start with your approval decision.
Ask for current absence rules
The Ministry’s introductory guidance refers to the Foreigners Law and implementing rules. Obtain the current category-specific continuity and cancellation provisions; no numerical safe absence period is verified here.
Check your basis before leaving
Ask the responsible inspectorate whether ending work, studies, family sponsorship or the registered address affects your permission. Keep evidence of any continuing condition.
Plan renewal, notification and entry
Confirm departure/address reporting and whether renewal requires local attendance. Ask whether your passport plus permit remains enough for re-entry after the intended India stay.
