Maldives in short
How many people from Maldives were selected in the DV lottery?
1 people from Maldives were selected in DV 2024, the latest year with results. Being selected is not a visa: it only gives the chance to apply.
Visa Status is an unofficial site and does not give immigration advice. The only official place to register is the State Department's Diversity Visa website; registration is free.
