Dreaming of a new beginning in the United States? Ever pictured yourself strolling through New York’s bustling streets, exploring Silicon Valley’s tech havens, or basking in the Floridian sun? The 2026 Diversity Visa Lottery is your chance to make those dreams a reality. This year, 55,000 visas are available to individuals from countries with lower immigration rates to the U.S., offering a unique opportunity to secure a green card without needing family or employment sponsorship.
Application Window and Requirements
The window for dreams opens on October 2, 2024, at noon EDT and will shut on November 5, 2024, at noon EST. Dive into the opportunity by applying at dvprogram.state.gov — it’s straightforward and entirely free! But remember, only one entry per person is allowed to keep the process fair. Eligibility hinges on being from a qualifying country and meeting either the educational or work experience requirements. For instance, you need a high school diploma or two years of relevant work experience.
Countries Not Eligible
Certain high-immigration countries are excluded from the lottery. You are in luck if you’re from a country with historically low U.S. immigration. If you are not from Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (including Hong Kong), Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Venezuela, or Vietnam, you are eligible to apply.
