If you’re living in France and have ever dreamed of moving to the United States, the US Green Card Lottery (Diversity Visa program) is one of the most accessible ways to start that journey. French citizens can submit their entry online during the official registration window by providing basic information and a qualifying photo.
When you apply with us, your entry is carefully reviewed to help reduce the risk of disqualification. You can register at any point in the year, and we’ll securely store your application and submit it as soon as the registration period opens.
Can French citizens enter the US Green Card Lottery?
Yes. French citizens are eligible to participate in the US Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery, as long as they meet the US government’s rules for education or work experience.
The DV program is a lottery run annually by the US Department of State, designed to give permanent residency opportunities to applicants from countries with historically low immigration rates to the US. France has been included in the list of eligible countries in recent years.
