Luxembourg: visa decisions in the United States
| Year | Applications | Visas issued | Refused | Refusal rate | Multiple-entry share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 464 | 343 | 99 | 22.0% | 69.1% |
| 2024 | 336 | 310 | 20 | 6.0% | 51.9% |
| 2025 | 304 | 286 | 13 | 4.3% | 62.2% |
In 2025, Luxembourg’s embassy and consulates in the United States (New York, San Francisco and Washington D.C.) received 304 applications for short-stay Schengen visas and issued 286. The refusal rate was 4.3%. The refusal rate fell by 1.7 points from 6.0% in 2024. Applications fell by 10% compared with 2024 (336).
For comparison, all Schengen states together refused 4.9% of the applications lodged in the United States that year, from 0.4% at the consulates of Greece to 20.5% at those of Sweden. Luxembourg’s consulates worldwide refused 14.8%. Luxembourg was the 24th most applied-for Schengen state in the United States.
You apply to the Schengen state that is your main destination (the longest stay or the main purpose; the state of first entry only when there is none), so a lower rate elsewhere is no reason to apply there. The figures cover applications lodged in the United States, by any nationality: mostly citizens, but also residents from other countries.
