Colombo (LNW): The US Embassy in Sri Lanka has issued a significant notice regarding the Diversity Visa (DV) programme for 2025.
There will be no charges to participate in the DV programme, but individuals should be wary of anyone or any service demanding payment, for such assertions about increasing the odds of selection are deceptive, the Embassy wrote on X.
Every valid application for the DV programme has an identical chance of being selected and applicants should only submit the entry, it added.
The embassy recommends applicants use the official website, https://dvprogram.state.gov/
The application period is set from 12:00 p.m. EDT on October 4 to 12:00 p.m. EST on November 7.
