The State Department web site for the US Diversity Visa Lottery (DV-2023) program is currently open and accessible. Interested entrants can either apply for a place or check their entrance status if they have already applied. We have detailed how to apply and be successful in the US Visa Lottery DV-2023.
Each year, the Department of State conducts a random selection of Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) applicants, based on allocations of available visas in each region and country, from all registered entries. It is important that you always know the entry submission period so as to prepare and apply on time. The entry form will be available for submission during the set application window only. Entries will NOT be accepted through the U.S. Postal Service.

Eligibility Requirements for US Diversity Visa Lottery 2023
It is expected that interested persons meet the following eligibility requirements to be able to enrol for the US electronic diversity visa lottery.
Requirement #1:
Individuals born in countries whose natives qualify may be eligible to enter. If you were not born in an eligible country, there are two other ways you might be able to qualify.
- Was your spouse born in a country whose natives are eligible? If yes, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth – provided that both you and your spouse are named on the selected entry, are found eligible and issued diversity visas, and enter the United States simultaneously.
- Were you born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but in which neither of your parents was born or legally resident at the time of your birth? If yes, you may claim the country of birth of one of your parents if it is a country whose natives are eligible for the DV 2023 program.
Requirement #2:
Each DV applicant must meet the education/work experience requirement of the DV program by having either:
- at least a high school education or its equivalent, defined as successful completion of a 12-year course of formal elementary and secondary education.
OR
- two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience to perform. The Department of State will use the U.S. Department of Labor’s O*Net Online database to determine qualifying work experience.
