Dozens of African countries have been confirmed as participants in the US Diversity Visa 2026 programme, also known as the Green Card Lottery. The US Department of State has released the list of African nations eligible for the programme, which offers a chance for individuals from participating countries to apply for a green card. The programme aims to promote diversity by allowing applicants from countries with low representation in the US to apply.
The latest update shows that more than 50 African countries have secured spots in the 2026 programme. The list includes nations from across the continent, highlighting the programme’s broad reach. Applicants from these countries can now register for the lottery, which will close in late 2026. The selection process is based on a random draw, ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for eligible applicants.
The Green Card Lottery is a key immigration pathway for many individuals from underrepresented regions. With the 2026 programme now open for registration, the focus is on ensuring a transparent and accessible application process. The US government continues to emphasize the programme’s role in fostering international diversity and supporting immigration reform.
