Other countries
Eligibility for potential participation in the Own Americavision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active OABA membership that would be able to broadcast the contest. As in every edition, an invitation to all the members has been sent in order to confirm whether they will participate or not.
 * The broadcaster announced country's withdrawal due to it having to take part in the Quarter-final.
 * Despite CBN hinting that the British Virgin Islands would be present in Belize and planning to contact Melanie Amaro to represent the nation for the third time, nothing was officially stated by the broadcaster and therefore it was not present on the final list of participating countries.
 * The Caymanian broadcaster failed to respond to the invitation that was sent by the OABA, thus resulting in it being fined and the British overseas territory being absent for the second consecutive time.
 * It was announced that the country would withdraw due to social and financial troubles. The broadcaster had initially confirmed Haiti's presence.
 * Shortly after the final results of the previous edition, the OABA announced that Martinique la 1ère had repeatedly failed to pay debts. The broadcaster's failure to repay their debts resulted in the nation's disqualification from the contest.
 * The Montserratian broadcaster had originally confirmed his presence, with the Head of Delegation also announcing an upcoming national final to be held to decide their next act. Unfortunately, such national final was never organized and the broadcaster missed the deadline for song submissions. It obviously resulted in Montserrat's first non-participation since their debut in the ninth edition.
 * Carib'inTV announced that the nation would be withdrawing due to lack of singers.
 * The Lucian broadcaster failed to respond to the invitation that was sent by the OABA, thus not being able to be among the final list of participating countries.
 * TCT announced that the territory was not interested in competing anymore, stating that their main intention was to only promote tourism in the archipelago through the contest. Following the shocking announcement, a meme stating that Turks and Caicos "lived, served cunt, promoted tourism and died" went viral on social media thanks to the fans of the contest.
