How to enter the Green Card Lottery for Swiss citizens

The United States Diversity Visa Program, popularly known as the Green Card Lottery, offers Swiss citizens an exclusive opportunity to experience a life-changing opportunity in the United States. This initiative is about embracing a diverse culture, expansive opportunities, and America's unique lifestyle.

This guide will help Swiss nationals understand and navigate the Green Card Lottery process. Learn below the steps of how to enter the DV Lottery and prepare for your journey to the United States.

DV Lottery: Can Swiss citizens enter the Green Card Lottery?

Yes, Swiss citizens are eligible for the Green Card Lottery. This program annually awards 55,000 visas to nationals from countries with lower immigration rates to the U.S., including Switzerland.

However, being selected in the lottery doesn’t automatically guarantee a visa. Selected applicants must then attend a visa interview and provide the necessary documentation. The final decision on visa issuance lies with the U.S. immigration authorities.
