About DV Lottery
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program awards up to 50,000 individuals per year a visa for a green card, which bestows permanent residency in the US and is a path to citizenship.

This Diversity visa allows winners and their families to live, work, and study permanently in the United States.

Visas are awarded by random selection in select countries to promote immigration from places that don’t otherwise send many immigrants to the US.

The DV-2026 registration period opened on October 2, 2024, and closed on November 5, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST.
