Which countries can Apply DV lottery 2025 eligible countries list

The electronic Diversity Visa Program restricts certain countries every year from applying for DV 2024 and here is the eligible countries list.

An electronic Diversity Visa is held annually and allows immigrants to move to the United States of America. However, this opportunity is not for everyone, as the US wants to diversify the people in their country. So, they will select countries with the least number of people.
