In fiscal year 2025 (October 2024 to September 2025) the United States issued 518 nonimmigrant visas to citizens of Luxembourg, the 172nd highest number of the 206 nationalities listed. Visitor visas (B1/B2) made up 28%, diplomatic and official visas 25% and work and treaty visas 17%. The total was about the same in fiscal year 2024.

From October 2025 to February 2026, citizens of Luxembourg received 191, about as many as in the same months a year earlier.

For visitor visas (B1/B2) the State Department reports an adjusted refusal rate of 13.8% for citizens of Luxembourg in fiscal year 2025 (fiscal year 2024: 10.9%). The adjusted rate counts a refusal that was later overcome, for example with further documents, as an issuance. A rate below 3% is one of the conditions for a country to join the Visa Waiver Program.

These figures count visas issued to citizens of Luxembourg anywhere in the world, not only at the US missions in Luxembourg.
