This animation shows the steps it takes for a candidate country to become a full member of NATO, recognised both nationally and internationally.
Built into the very text of NATO’s founding treaty, it has always been possible for new members to join the Alliance with the unanimous agreement of all existing Allies.
The Membership Action Plan (MAP) was created to streamline the process and help countries aspiring to join NATO in their preparations for potential membership.
Now, with the most recent addition of North Macedonia, NATO has grown from an original group of 12 to 30 member states.

Sweden, Finland, Moldovia anf Georgia when?
What happens if Russia retailiates on us when starting the "Aspiration to join/MAP" process? Im so afraid here in Sweden that Russia will retaliate on us if we start to join NATO. What I have understand, is that if we start the NATO process, and Russia retaliates before the actual formal application is made, the country will be considered in-conflict, and the further application process will fail, meaning that there will be no NATO membership, but instead we will have a really really angry Russia on us.
Can you join NATO with a land dispute?
I hope that NATO accept the eligibility for the country of Ukraine to be part of NATO. So that the war against Putin regime can be disputed.🙏
Hey, have you considered letting Ukraine onto the life boat? They're drowning over there and were all looking away like we don't notice.
🇧🇦 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 🇬🇪 🇺🇦 hope you are all next .
Russia is being done a cruel and bloody war in Ukraine. Russia is droping bombs on houses, thousands of people died, children died! Please, I beg you, help close the sky over Ukraine. Open sky is a new bombs, destruction of houses, death of thousands of civilians. Please, help! Close the sky over Ukraine, don't close your eyes on death!
What about disputed border ?
NATO, please close the skies over Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏🙏🙏❣️
My gosh. I hated NATO before. But now, I appreciate having this alliace. Save Ukraine.
time for ukraine!
So Japan can't join NATO
By agreeing to the values of the alliance of NATO, a country does not lose it's independence.
It is not a forfeit for a country to join a united treaty and become a NATO member, it's a unity of peace.
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take a country to go through steps 1-5 before officially joining NATO?
Why is Step 1 being a European Country if the United States and Canada are allowed to be a part of it?
why not georgia?
Looks like Sweden and Finland might need this video now.
I have many questions as to which aspect of Ukraine; other than votes by current members of NATO, are not part of NATO? I've been searching online for the reasons as to why and am not finding clear answers. By this I am seeing that the current members don't think of anything good Ukraine can do for NATO. Yet, NATO countries can some how supply Ukraine with weapons, so they can defend themselves.
My question is, can Ukraine join Nato in the middle of current scenario?
Ratification needs every members sign. Can member country give empy vote? So that it does not approve but not also disagree or oppose new member?
WELCOME UKRAINE
So I’m confused so u have to be a European country to be apart of NATO so Ukraine can’t join they aren’t considered being apart of Europe I’m guessing this can be override by all members of NATO agreeing
Wellcome Italy 🇷🇴🇮🇹
What is taken Ukraine so long to join
How can America and canada join in nato if they aren't in Europe 😬
Ohh must be a european why not open this to the whole world

Thank you very much NATO for the opportunity given to this small young country. NATO's confidence in this young country will never be misplaced.
