You have to own the stock on the evening the stock goes ex-dividend, however, exchange and NASDAQ rules requires the market maker to write down the value of the stock at the open by exactly the dividend amount.

One day. You only need to own the shares at the close on the "dividend record date".
The catch is, whenever a company goes ex-dividend, its shares usually fall by the amount of the dividend. Sorry, no free money here.

It depends on when the company you invest in pays dividends. For example, if the company normally pays out dividens in May, that's probably when they'll pay it. Just invest before that point.
