Active EBU Members
Andorra – Despite being absent for 10 years, local media reported that RTVA was still interested in returning to the contest, but the principality's failure to make the final along with the cost was discouraging the broadcaster from participating. In order for a return to take place, RTVA would need funding from the Andorran Government.[9] It is currently unknown whether Andorra will receive this funding from the government and whether they will be able to return to the contest.
- Russia – Despite no official confirmation of participation, Russian-Tajikistani singer Manizha stated during an interview at the Moscow Pre-Party for the 2018 contest, that she may represent Russia in the 2019 contest with an unreleased song, titled "I Am Who I Am". [10]
Associate EBU members
Kazakhstan – On 22 December 2017, it was claimed that Channel 31 had finalised negotiations with the EBU, allowing Kazakhstan to debut in 2019[11], however, on 23 December 2017 the EBU told Esctoday that: "Channel 31 Kazakhstan has indeed expressed interest in becoming a Member of the EBU and hence participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. However, since Channel 31 is outside the European Broadcasting Area and is also not a member of the Council of Europe, it is not eligible to become an active Member of the EBU".[12][13]
Non-EBU members
Liechtenstein – On 4 November 2017, 1 FL TV, the national broadcaster of the Principality of Liechtenstein confirmed that the country were planning a debut in the 2019 contest, and that they were currently in the process of applying for EBU membership and are "in [the] process of complying all requirements".[14] They also reiterated their intention to select the participant through a national selection process in the form of Liechtenstein Music Contest "open to any form of music".[15]
