The next DV Lottery application period is typically announced for the following fiscal year, and the most recent publicly reported window I found opened on October 7, 2020 and ran until November 10, 2020 for that round. Since your wording mentions “DV lottery 2020,” that specific application period has already passed, so the next one would depend on the current U.S. government announcement for the latest cycle.

What this means

  • DV Lottery 2020 refers to an old registration period, not an upcoming one.
  • The registration window in the sources I found was October 7, 2020 to November 10, 2020.
  • Diversity Visa registration is usually opened for a limited period each year, but the exact dates change by cycle.

Practical takeaway

If you mean the next available DV Lottery registration , you should look for the announcement for the newest fiscal year rather than 2020, because 2020 registration is closed. The official timing is usually published ahead of the open period.

Note

Some recent reporting suggests U.S. immigration policy has been changing, so DV Lottery timing and availability may be affected by current rules.
