Brazil, Canada, China, Mexico and Venezuela are among the countries ineligible for U.S. diversity visa applications.

People in most countries are eligible to apply for 'diversity visas' through the U.S. Department of State, though citizens in some of the biggest nations are ineligible due to past migration patterns.The State Department annually administers the DV program, intended to admit up to 55,000 migrants during the 2025 fiscal year from countries with low immigration rates and allow them to ultimately gain citizenship through naturalization.

All 2024 visa applicants must be found eligible for, and obtain, their visa or adjust their status by the end of the current fiscal year, on September 30. The registration period ran from October 5, 2022, until November 8, 2022.Entrants are selected randomly based on the number of available visas in each region and country. The law allows only one entry per person during each registration period. Those who attempt to submit two or more entries are disqualified.
