DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 12572] 

Diversity Visa Instructions for DV– 

2026; Correction 

ACTION: Notice of Diversity Visa Program 

for Fiscal Year 2026; Correction. 

SUMMARY: This document contains a 

correction to Public Notice 12558 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 1, 2024. The public notice 

contained an error on the start and end 

dates for the DV–2026 entry period. 

DATES: The notice was effective on 

October 1, 2024. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction 

1. In the public notice published on 

October 1, 2024, 89 FR 79997, page 

79998 of the Entry Period paragraph of 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

lists October 4, 2023, as the start date 

and November 7, 2023, as the end date 

of the DV–2026 entry period. These 

dates are incorrect. The entry period for 

the DV–2026 Program begins on October 

2, 2024, and ends on November 7, 2024. 

This section is corrected to read as 

follows: 

Entry Period 

Applicants must submit entries for the DV– 

2026 program electronically at 

dvprogram.state.gov between 12:00 p.m. 

(noon), Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT– 

4), Wednesday, October 2, 2024, and 12:00 

p.m. (noon), Eastern Standard Time (EST) 

(GMT–5), Thursday, November 7, 2024. Do 

not wait until the last week of the registration 

period to enter as heavy demand may result 

in website delays. No late entries or paper 

entries will be accepted. The law allows only 

one entry per person during each entry 

period. The Department of State uses 

sophisticated technology to detect multiple 

entries. Submission of more than one entry 

for a person will disqualify all entries for that 

person. 

2. The entry period dates listed on 

page 80001 in question 9 of the 

Frequently Asked Questions portion of 

the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

incorrectly reflect the start and end 

dates of the DV–2026 entry period as 

Wednesday, October 4, 2023, and 

Tuesday, November 7, 2023. The correct 

dates are Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 

and Thursday, November 7, 2024. 

Question Nine is corrected to read as 

follows: 

9. When can I submit my entry? 

The DV–2026 entry period will run from 

12:00 p.m. (noon), Eastern Daylight Time 

(EDT) (GMT–4), Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 

until 12:00 p.m. (noon), Eastern Standard 

Time (EST) (GMT–5), Thursday, November 7, 

2024. Each year, millions of people submit 

entries. Restricting the entry period to these 

dates ensures selectees receive notification in 

a timely manner and gives both the visa 

applicants and our embassies and consulates 

time to prepare and complete cases for visa 

issuance. 

We strongly encourage you to enter early 

during the registration period. Excessive 

demand at end of the registration period may 

slow the processing system. We cannot 

accept entries after noon EST on Thursday, 

November 7, 2024. 

3. The entry period dates listed on 

page 80002 in question 19 of the 

Frequently Asked Questions portion of 

the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

incorrectly reflect the end date of the 

DV–2026 entry period as November 7, 

2023. The correct date is November 7, 

2024. Question Nineteen is corrected to 

read as follows: 

19. If the E–DV system rejects my entry, can 

I resubmit my entry? 

Yes, you can resubmit your entry as long 

as your submission is completed by 12:00 

p.m. (noon) Eastern Standard Time (EST) 

(GMT–5) on Thursday, November 7, 2024. 

You will not be penalized for submitting a 

duplicate entry if the E–DV system rejects 

your initial entry. Given the unpredictable 

nature of the internet, you may not receive 

the rejection notice immediately. You can try 

to submit an application as many times as is 

necessary until a complete application is 

received and the confirmation notice sent. 

Once you receive a confirmation notice, your 

entry is complete, and you should NOT 

submit any additional entries.

Consular Affairs, Department of State.
