Bitola
Southern city stays use the same national МВР and Hospitality Act stack — confirm municipal remittance with Општина Битола.
Local focus
- МВР reporting
- Guest book
- Local remittance
Country context
Закон за странци (as applied by МВР) requires paid accommodation providers to report every foreign guest’s stay within 12 hours — on top of municipal registry / categorisation under the Hospitality Act and temporary-stay tax remitted locally. EU candidate; not EU, not Schengen.
Self check-in works when МВР-ready identity and stay fields (and guest-book data) are captured before access instructions unlock — then meet the 12-hour paid-accommodation filing clock.
