DV Lottery: Can I apply for the lottery as a Japanese citizen?

Yes, Japanese citizens are eligible to participate in the Green Card Lottery. This program is designed to diversify the immigrant population in the United States by selecting applicants primarily from countries with low immigration rates to the U.S.

While winning a spot in the lottery is a significant step, it doesn't automatically guarantee a visa. Selected applicants must attend a visa appointment and provide the necessary documents; the final decision rests with the U.S. authorities.
