The latest figures from the DV-2026 Diversity Visa (Green Card) Lottery have highlighted 10 African countries with the lowest number of selectees for the programme.

10 African Countries With the Lowest Selectees

The 10 African countries with the lowest number of DV-2026 selectees are listed in the comments below.
What DV Lottery Selection Means
Being selected in the Diversity Visa Lottery does not automatically guarantee a Green Card or entry into the United States.
Selected applicants must still complete the required application process, meet eligibility requirements, submit the necessary documentation, and undergo the appropriate visa processing procedures.
Applicants Urged to Check Official Information
DV Lottery applicants are encouraged to rely on official U.S. government information when checking their selection status and understanding the next steps.
Applicants should also be cautious of individuals or websites requesting money in exchange for supposedly confirming or guaranteeing a Diversity Visa selection.
