According to DV-2016 instructions:
"For DV-2016, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply, because more than 50,000 natives of these countries immigrated to the United States in the previous five years:
Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam.
Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan are eligible."

Is there any list of countries, which are not eligible for immigration? Which are those countries?
Thanks
There's no such thing as countries not eligible for immigration. However if you mean countries not eligible for DV 2016, then you need to take a look at the newly released 2016 DV instructions which can be found on the DOS website. It has the complete list.
