It depends on - where you are located, if you have been a practicing Buddhist, what kind of monastery.
If you are a Buddhist and practice now at a temple you start by discussing your intention with your teacher.
If you are not then the place to start is to begin to practice at a temple, that your are comfortable with. Go on some retreats.
The standards to enter vary from place to place.
You begin by taking lay precepts, then a novice and after study are ordained a monk.
It is important to be involved with a recognized temple with a good reputation. This is why it starts with your local temple.
It is not an easy life, you start with study and menial chores, you progress to more intense study and fewer menial chores.
If you provide more information we can be more specific in assisting you. If you wish to ask more privately I don't know if there is an email function on here or not.
