The 2024 Visa Lottery or Diversity Visa Program is a programme of the United States government that aims to diversify the countries of origin of immigrants to the United States. This makes it possible for citizens of countries that have historically had a low rate of immigration to the North to obtain a permanent residence permit.
Being selected as a beneficiary of this programme does not guarantee you a visa to travel to the United States, but it does allow you to move forward in the selection process to obtain one.
