Nepal in short
How many people from Nepal were selected in the DV lottery?
3,933 people from Nepal were selected in DV 2026, 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.
