The US Diversity Visa Lottery (DV-2025) program is currently open. Interested applicants can apply or check their entry status if they have already submitted an application.
Overview of US Diversity Visa Lottery Program
The U.S. Department of State randomly selects Diversity Visa (DV) applicants each year based on available visa allocations for different regions and countries. It is important to know the application period to prepare and apply on time. The entry form is only available during the official submission window, and applications must be submitted online. Entries sent through the U.S. Postal Service will not be accepted.
What are the Requirements for US Diversity Visa Lottery
Interested applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements to apply for the U.S. Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery:
- Be from an eligible country
- Have at least a high school education or equivalent
- OR have two years of work experience in an eligible occupation within the last five years

- Your spouse was born in an eligible country, and both of you apply and enter the U.S. together.
