 Here are the entry requirements for Applying.
 Natives from every country in the world qualifies for DV2010 except Natives from the countries (listed below). For DV-2010, natives of the countries (listed below) are not eligible to apply because they sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the U.S. in the previous five years:
Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Philippines, Peru, Poland, Russia, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories (Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn, St. Helena, Turks & Caicos Islands) and Vietnam. If you were born in these countries you cannot, participate in the Diversity Program this year.
Note that persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan are eligible to apply.
For DV-2010, Russia has returned to the list of eligible countries. Kosovo has also been added to the list of eligible countries. No countries have been removed from the list of eligible countries for DV-2010.
The Term 'Native' refers to the country in which the applicant was born. However, there are two other ways a person may be able to qualify.
First, if a person was born in a country whose natives are ineligible but his/her spouse was born in a country whose natives are eligible, such person can claim the spouse’s country of birth provided both the applicant and spouse are issued visas and enter the U.S. simultaneously.
Second, if a person was born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but neither of his/her parents was born there or resided there at the time of his/her birth, such person may claim nativity in one of the parents’ country of birth if it is a country whose natives qualify for the DV-2010 program.
Applicant must meet either the education or training requirement of the DV program.
Education or Work Experience:
An applicant must have EITHER a high school education or its equivalent, defined as successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary education; OR
two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years of training or experience to perform. The U.S. Department of Labor’s O*Net OnLine database will be used to determine qualifying work experience. For more information about qualifying work experience, see Frequently Asked Question
