How to apply

The NATOLEGION accepts recruits from all over the world. The recruitment officially runs 24/7/365 (yes, you can join every day, all year long).

As a candidate/volunteer, you will be enlisted as a single person, even if you are married. The first contract you sign is mandatory for 5 years.

The entire recruiting and selection process should usually take 3 weeks (however, the exact period depends on each candidate). The process starts when you pass your valid passport/ID card to a serving legionnaire in a recruiting center or an information office (you will see the full list below).

The process ends when you are officially accepted or rejected. During the whole period — from passing your passport/ID card to a legionnaire until your acceptance or rejection — free accommodation, free food, and free clothing are provided to you by the Legion.

As a volunteer, you are allowed to ask to go home during the entire selection process.
