Countries become members of NATO by following a structured process that includes meeting specific political, military, and economic criteria. They must demonstrate a commitment to democratic principles, the rule of law, and the ability to contribute to collective defense. Interested nations typically engage in a Membership Action Plan (MAP) to prepare for membership, and their application is then subject to approval by existing NATO member states, requiring consensus. Once approved, the country formally joins the alliance through the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty.
