Jobs for girls in Macedonia

🚩 When thinking about working in a nightclub abroad, girls who do not have experience working on European contracts rarely think about Macedonia. It is a small country, and it is not among the TOP wealthiest countries in Europe. However, in Macedonia, dancers and hostesses can work successfully and earn good money. What is the secret of profitable work for girls in Macedonian clubs? In the residents and guests of the country. Native Macedonians go to work in Germany, Switzerland and other developed countries of the European Union, and upon returning they are ready to have a quality rest and spend money on entertainment in their home country.

📌 What documents are needed for employment

🚩 For girls from Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Serbia and other EU countries, entry to Macedonia does not require additional visa processing. Upon arrival, the club registers dancers and hostesses, as well as a work permit for 1 month with the possibility of extension up to 90 days.

Girls from Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan can enter Macedonia with a Macedonian national visa or a work visa. It is easy to get a tourist visa based on an invitation, which is issued by the club and agency! You will only need to take 2 photos and contact the Macedonian embassy in Moscow (for dancers from the Russian Federation), Nur-Sultan (for dancers from Kazakhstan) or any other country where there is a Macedonian embassy (for applicants from Belarus).

It is possible to apply for a work visa to Macedonia for dancers and hostesses without your presence in the country. A work visa is issued for a year. The entire process is handled by the agency, you will need a minimum package of documents: a certificate of completion of 11 classes or a diploma and a certificate of no criminal record with an apostille. A work visa in Macedonia for girls is absolutely free, provided that you work for a year.

🚩 Dancers and hostesses in Macedonian clubs work legally from the first day.

📌 Working conditions in Macedonian clubs and earnings level for girls

The “high” season in Macedonian nightclubs usually falls in July-August, as well as the period from late November to early January – the holiday period for Macedonians and Albanians working in the EU.

🚩 Earnings in Macedonia are quite impressive even by European standards. During the peak season in a Macedonian nightclub, a girl can earn up to €8,000 , during the “club off-season” earnings are lower and amount to €2,500 – €4,000.

When considering vacancies in Macedonian night clubs, it is worth considering that entertainment establishments in this country are divided into two categories:

• The first to offer girls work as hostesses with consumption (music live clubs);
• The second group that is looking for dancers (it is possible to combine strip dancing with lap dancing and consumption) are lap dance clubs.

🚩 A big plus for girls is that the administration of most clubs prefers that dancers and hostesses work sober. Therefore, bartenders pour water, juices, non-alcoholic cocktails for employees (sometimes they add a little alcohol – for the smell). If you are looking for an option with non-alcoholic consumption – Macedonia is exactly that option.
​The club management is always on the girls' side, rest assured that no one will let you down.

Knowledge of the state language is not a mandatory requirement for working as a hostess in Macedonian clubs. Macedonian is a very simple language, and after a couple of weeks of work, the girls begin to understand the speech of local residents perfectly and can communicate with them. Another linguistic advantage is that Macedonians use Cyrillic, so Russian-speaking girls feel comfortable and quickly get used to the country. Knowing basic English is desirable, but you can do without it.

An interesting fact is that many popular Macedonian night clubs are not located in cities, but between them. This location is convenient for guests and profitable for clubs. The former can easily get to the establishment they like, and the club itself can receive visitors from several localities at once.

📌 A few words about the guests

🚩 The club's guests are usually locals – Macedonians, Albanians, Serbs, and foreigners are less likely to drop in (Macedonia is not very popular with European tourists). An interesting nuance is that Macedonians and Albanians are not alien to the spirit of “competition” and the desire to surpass their neighbor in everything. When they come to a nightclub, they also compete – who has the most beautiful dancers at the table, who is richer (that is, who can spend more money on entertainment and treats), and the girls earn good money on this.

📌 Living conditions

🚩 Most night clubs provide girls with free accommodation in hotel rooms. Dancers and hostesses are only required to pay a hotel tax of 100 Macedonian denars per day (approximately 1.6€ at the current exchange rate). This amount includes cleaning the room, changing towels and bed linen.

📌 Features of working in “music live” clubs

The girls' duties in “music live” type clubs include communication with guests and consumption. In essence, beautiful, sexy-dressed girls move around the room and try to attract the attention of guests by dancing near the tables. There is no need to perform a full-fledged dance with choreographic elements, as well as take off anything. It is enough to simply move to the music.

🚩 The club always has live music and singers. The musicians and singer are almost always local. The main income is tips. When working on consumption in Macedonia, hostesses collect about 10% of tips from visitors, and the singer – 90%. In monetary terms, total tips can reach up to 5,000-8,000 euros per night!

In most clubs, the hostess, singer, and musicians put tips during the work shift into one box-“cashbox,” and at the end of the shift, the money is divided equally among everyone. With this system, during the peak season, each hostess can earn for the work shift only in tips:

• 100-250€ from Thursday to Saturday inclusive – these are the days when nightclubs are most crowded;
• 50-130€ on weekdays and Sundays.

Some establishments practice a system of individual numbered tip boxes for each girl.

📌 Features of working in lap dance clubs

Most lap dance clubs are located in the city of Ohrid, as well as between the cities of Tetovo and Gostivar.

🚩 The dress code for dancers is quite simple – you need to wear erotic lingerie for dancing to work. Girls also communicate with guests in lingerie or wear a peignoir or sexy robe over it.

🚩 As a rule, the shift begins at the common table for girls.

Here you can sit, get ready for work, and drink a cocktail to set the mood.

When the DJ turns the music up, it's a sign for the dancers to go to the guests. The girls come to the tables and dance (without stripping).

Then the music becomes quieter, this means the end of the dance at the table. The girls can take a break – sit down at their table, tidy themselves up, go out for a “smoke break” or stay with the guests if they treat the dancer to champagne or order a cocktail for her.

Additionally, dancers in Macedonia can earn money by giving private dances, which earn between 20 and 40 euros per track.

Consumption in Macedonia also comes with a %. For any drink, the dancer receives a fixed 200 denars , which is approximately 3.30 euros.

💰 Tips in Macedonian clubs are split 50/50 between the dancer and the establishment.
Macedonian clubs are happy to hire attractive girls from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova and the Baltic States, there are also many dancers and hostesses from Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Albania
