The “Visa Lottery” for Cuba a.k.a. “Diversity Immigrant Visa” is a scheme established by the United States government to enable nationals of certain countries having low levels of immigration to the United States to obtain a permanent residency visa, also known as a “green card”,
The main purpose of the Visa Lottery is to diversify the immigrant pool in the United States by giving the opportunity to obtain a green card to people from countries who have historically had low rates of immigration to the United States. This provides citizens of diverse origins and nationalities a legal opportunity to migrate to the United States.
The registration period for the year 2025 has recently closed. This edition’s results will be made public in May 2024 and those who pass will be given up to one year to travel to the United States.
