Basic Errors

One of the main reasons preventing those wishing to win this lottery is the inaccuracy in providing the necessary information, especially images, since the photo should be recent, as well as without any changes in graphic editors.

Changing or losing your passport can deprive you of an immigrant visa if you win, but cannot prove the reason for the change in data, so keeping a copy of your passport can always save you in this situation.
