The U.S. Embassy announces the opening of the 2026 Diversity Visa Lottery Program (DV-2026). Often called the “Green Card Lottery,” DV-2026 is the only official lottery program for immigrant visas to the United States.

Registration begins at noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Wednesday October 2, 2024, and ends at noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
This annual U.S. government-sponsored program makes more than 50,000 immigrant visas available worldwide to people from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States, including Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
The application process is free. Applications are accepted electronically only through https://dvprogram.state.gov/ . Any website asking for a fee to apply is not associated with the U.S. government.
Applicants are strongly encouraged not to wait until the last week of the registration period to enter, as heavy demand in the final days of the application period is open may result in website delays. No entries will be accepted after noon EST on November 5, 2024.

When registering, applicants must print and save their confirmation page with their unique confirmation code to check the status of their entry. Applicants must take care to keep this page; the Embassy cannot replace this confirmation code.
Beginning May 3, 2025, entrants will be able to use their confirmation number to see if their entry was selected via the online Entrant Status Check website at https://dvprogram.state.gov/ . Successful entrants will receive instructions at that time on how to apply for immigrant visas for themselves and their eligible family members. Confirmation of visa interview appointments will also be made through Entrant Status Check. Applicants will not receive notification letters by mail, email or phone. Any contact by a third party claiming the applicant has won the lottery is fraudulent. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to check the website for notification of lottery selection.
Diversity Visa applicants are advised to remain vigilant for fraudulent emails, websites, and letters claiming to be part of the application process. These are used by scammers posing as the U.S. government to extract funds or access banking information. Applicants are reminded that there is no fee to apply for Diversity Visas, and the U.S. government does not request any payments via email or letter.
