Visa issuances and wait times at the U.S. post in Zagreb

Monthly tables Mar 2017 to Sep 2025 · 162nd of 217 posts by nonimmigrant issuances in Sep 2025 · wait times read 1 Jul 2026

The reports below contain preliminary data which are subject to change. Beginning with FY 2020, individual monthly issuance reports should not be aggregated, as this will not provide an accurate issuance total for the fiscal year to date. Instead, refer to our annual Report of the Visa Office for final full Fiscal Year statistics. On wait times the Department says: "New appointments are added regularly, so you may get an appointment sooner" and "The average wait times we report do not guarantee a visa applicant will get an appointment within a specific time."

In September 2025, the latest month published, the post in Zagreb (Croatia) issued 248 nonimmigrant visas, down 34% on September 2024 (376).

The largest classes that month were C1/D (combined transit and crewmember visa) with 111, 44.8% of the post's issuances, B1/B2 (temporary visitor for business and pleasure) with 69, 27.8% of the post's issuances and B1 (temporary visitor for business) with 13, 5.2% of the post's issuances. Among the 211 posts that issued B1/B2 visas in September 2025, Zagreb ranks 176th by count; for F1 student visas it ranks 136th of 184.

The immigrant visa table for September 2025 lists no issuances for this post; many posts handle only nonimmigrant applications.

The Department publishes annual totals separately, in its Report of the Visa Office; this site does not add monthly reports together, so the month-by-month table below is read one month at a time.

The Department's Global Visa Wait Times table read on 1 Jul 2026 listed the next available appointment as under ½ month for a visitor (B1/B2) interview, 0.5 months for students and exchange visitors (F, M, J) and under ½ month for petition-based workers (H, L, O, P, Q). For visitor visas that is shorter than the 0.5 months listed about six months earlier (2 Dec 2025).

Questions and answers

How many visas did the U.S. post in Zagreb issue last month?

248 nonimmigrant visas in September 2025, the latest month in the State Department's monthly issuance tables. In September 2024 the post issued 376 nonimmigrant visas.

What is the wait for a visitor visa interview in Zagreb?

The Department's Global Visa Wait Times table, read on 1 Jul 2026, listed the next available B1/B2 interview appointment as under ½ month away (under 2 months). The Department updates the table monthly and says new appointments are added regularly, so an applicant may get an appointment sooner.

What is the wait for a student visa interview in Zagreb?

The next available F, M or J appointment was listed as 0.5 months away on 1 Jul 2026. Student appointments are scheduled separately from visitor appointments at most posts.

Which visa classes does Zagreb issue most?

In September 2025: C1/D (111, 44.8%), B1/B2 (69, 27.8%), B1 (13, 5.2%), J1 (12, 4.8%) and G2 (9, 3.6%). 18 nonimmigrant classes appear in the post's table for the month.

Is visa volume at Zagreb rising or falling?

September 2025: 248 nonimmigrant visas, down 34% on September 2024 (376). The month-by-month series on this page shows the path one month at a time; the Department notes that monthly reports are preliminary and subject to change and should not be added together.

How many visas does Zagreb issue in a year?

The Department publishes annual totals separately, in its Report of the Visa Office, and says its monthly reports should not be aggregated, so this site shows no yearly figure for a post. The annual tables by nationality are on the nationality pages.

What does the issuance count for Zagreb not tell you?

It is the number of visas issued, not the number of applications received or interviews held, and it says nothing about the outcome of any individual application. The Department publishes refusal rates only for B visas by nationality, not by post.

Where does this data come from?

The State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs publishes monthly nonimmigrant and immigrant visa issuance tables by post and visa class, and a Global Visa Wait Times table. Issuances on this page run March 2017 to September 2025; wait times are read from the Department's table and kept as dated snapshots (44 readings for this post).
