As of September 30, 2024, the DV Program for the 2024 fiscal year has ended.
The 2024 Diversity Visa (DV) Program has ended. By law, selectees are only eligible to receive a visa during the fiscal year for which they were selected, which for FY 2024, ran from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The DV Program allows people from countries with low U.S. immigration rates, who meet eligibility requirements, to enter for a chance to apply for a U.S. immigrant visa. We recognize the important contributions these individuals bring to our communities.
We know that the conclusion of the 2024 program may be disappointing to selectees who were unable to receive a visa. The 2026 Diversity Visa program entry period will open in early October 2024, and we encourage all who are eligible to apply. Please click this link for the instructions.
As provided in the DV-2024 program instructions, selection does not guarantee that an applicant will receive a visa interview or a visa. Selection means the person may be eligible to participate in the DV program and may potentially apply for a visa, but it is not a guarantee. Due to the probability that some of the first 55,000 persons selected will not qualify for visas or ultimately choose not to participate in the program, more individuals are selected to participate in the program each year than the number of visas which are available. This is done to ensure we are able to issue the maximum number of visas available under the DV program in any given year. The Department of State is committed to facilitating travel for DV recipients and welcomes DV-2026 applications.
