DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 12558] 

Diversity Visa Instructions for DV–2026 

ACTION: Notice of Diversity Visa Program 

for Fiscal Year 2026. 

SUMMARY: This public notice provides 

information on how to apply for the 

DV–2026 Program and is issued 

pursuant to the Immigration and 

Nationality Act. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Program Overiew 

The Department of State annually 

administers the statutorily created 

Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. 

Section 203(c) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA) provides for a 

class of immigrants known as ‘‘diversity 

immigrants’’ from countries with 

historically low rates of immigration to 

the United States. For Fiscal Year 2026, 

up to 55,000 Diversity Visas (DVs) will 

be available. There is no cost to register 

for the DV program, but selectees who 

are scheduled for an interview will be 

required to pay a visa application fee 

prior to making their formal visa 

application where a consular officer will 

determine whether they qualify for the 

visa. 

Applicants who are selected in the 

program (selectees) must meet simple 

but strict eligibility requirements to 

qualify for a DV. The Department of 

State determines selectees through a 

randomized computer drawing. The 

Department of State distributes diversity 

visas among six geographic regions, and 

no single country may receive more 

than seven percent of the available DVs 

in any one year. 

For DV–2026, natives of the following 

countries and areas are not eligible to 

apply, because more than 50,000 natives 

of these countries immigrated to the 

United States in the previous five years: 

Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, The 

People’s Republic of China (including 

mainland and Hong Kong born), 

Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, 

El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, India, 

Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, 

Philippines, Republic of Korea (South 

Korea),Venezuela, Vietnam, Natives of 

Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible. 

With the exception of Cuba, which is 

not eligible for DV–2026, there were no 

changes in eligibility from the previous 

fiscal year. 

Eligibility 

Requirement One: Natives of 

countries with historically low rates of 

immigration to the United States may be 

eligible to enter. 

If you are not a native of a country 

with historically low rates of 

immigration to the United States, there 

are two other ways you might be able to 

qualify. 

• Is your spouse a native of a country 

with historically low rates of 

immigration to the United States? If yes, 

you can claim your spouse’s country of 

birth—provided that you and your 

spouse are named on the selected entry, 

are found eligible and issued diversity 

visas, and enter the United States at the 

same time.
