DV 2024 Eligibility

Persons registering for the DV 2024 must meet two major requirements to be eligible to participate in the program.

1. Country of citizenship

You are eligible to participate in DV 2024 if you are not a national of one of these countries:

Honduras
India

If you are from one of the ineligible countries but married to someone from an eligible country, you qualify to register under your spouse as a family member.

2. Education/Work Experience requirement

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the forms with your personal details, passport details, and family information (if any), and submit your digital photograph.

If you are married and/or have children at the time of submitting the entry form, include the names of your spouse and/or children in your entry. You won’t be able to include your children who were born at the time of submitting the entry at a later date.

Print the confirmation that appears after submitting the entry and keep it until September 2024.
