Anyone waiting for a Schengen visa from India who wants to see how fast the embassies are returning passports. We show overall progress from courier data. We can't show the decision or status of your own application; for that, use VFS tracking or contact the embassy.
From BlueDart's public tracking. VFS sends passports back by BlueDart, and each shipment carries the applicant's VFS reference number, which follows a fixed pattern (country, city, application date and serial). We check references in that pattern on BlueDart's tracking page several times a day, so every passport listed here is a real, dispatched shipment. You can check any of them yourself with "Verify on BlueDart".
Several times a day. Estonia updates at 11:30 AM, 6 PM, 12 AM and 3:30 AM IST, Tuesday to Saturday. Most new dispatches appear after midnight, when the courier picks up the day's passports. Couriers don't pick up passports at weekends, so on Sunday it updates only at 6 PM and on Monday not at all; Monday's passports appear from 12 AM that night.
Usually because the day isn't over: most of a day's passports appear in the 12 AM update, after the courier picks them up. Some days really are quiet, for example around a holiday or when the embassy sends fewer passports back. If your own passport was dispatched and still isn't here the next morning, tell us with your reference number.
It's the latest application date for which about 70% of a typical day's passports have been dispatched. Some people who applied on or before that date are still waiting, so it isn't a cutoff.
Your reference number contains your application date. For example, NLDBLR170826004901 means Netherlands (NLD), Bangalore (BLR), applied 17 Aug 2026 (170826), serial 0049, first person on the file (01). Under "By application date", tap your date's bar to see every passport dispatched from that day. Switch to Boxes to see which serial numbers haven't been seen yet.
Each box is one application, numbered by the 4 digits after the date in the reference number. Green means at least one passport on it has been dispatched. "Not seen yet" is a number below the highest one dispatched that we haven't seen: that application may still be with the embassy, collected in person, withdrawn, or the number may never have been used. "Possible on a busy day" (dashed) is a number above the highest one seen, up to how many applications the centre takes on a busy day, so it may not exist at all.
The embassy doesn't work strictly in date order, and each day's applications go out over several weeks. So later dates moving doesn't mean yours was skipped. See what applicants found →
In calendar days, weekends and holidays included, from the day you applied at VFS. Under the EU visa rules the embassy should decide within 15 days, and can take up to 45 in individual cases. Applicants report that embassies rarely answer questions about an application before day 45. Answers from applicants at the 45-day mark →
Usually, yes. Many applicants see EES turn OK a day or two before VFS or the courier shows anything. Check with dates inside your planned trip: outside your visa's dates it shows Not OK even when you have one.
Not on its own. Applicants here have received approved visas while EES still showed Not OK, and others saw it turn OK only the day after their passport was dispatched. The decision is in your passport, so wait for it. Read what applicants saw with EES →
It depends where you collect it. Passports collected in person at VFS Delhi never go by courier, so they can't show up here. If you collect at another centre, your passport is sent there by courier, so it usually shows up.
It happens rarely, usually when the courier record is missing or late. If that's you, with your reference number and we'll look into it.
No. VisaTrackr is an independent, free tool. We're not connected to VFS Global, any embassy or any courier company.

🙌 Helpers of the week (10–17 Oct) Thank you to the people who took time to help others this week: 1. Krish walked Rushil through the EES check step by step: which dates to enter, where the passport number goes, and what OK can and can't tell you View comment → 2. HK shared the Dutch embassy's phone number and how the call works once 45 days have passed: they raise a signal, and you call again if nothing comes within 10 days View comment → 3. random_pelican shared the NetherlandsWorldwide number, and that they can't do anything before 45 calendar days View comment → 4. Aayush kept Swiss applicants posted: EES turned OK one day, and the passport was dispatched the next View comment → 5. DS got a Swiss visa while EES still said NOT OK, a reminder that NOT OK doesn't always mean a refusal View comment → 6. NM came back with a full timeline: a multi-entry visa after 46 days, no email from VFS, and a reminder that waits close to 45 days are normal right now View comment → 7. SD found that EES showed NOT OK with no dates entered, and OK once the arrival date was filled in View comment → 8. Divya explained that you can email VFS to switch from courier to self-collection (about ₹850), which is usually faster View comment → 9. daisy told a worried group that she applied on 4 Sep from VFS Mumbai with no travel history, and got her visa on 3 Oct View comment → When you're anxious about your passport, a reply from someone who's been through it means a lot. 🙏
I have submitted file on August 5th at Hyderabad vfs and my travel dates has also started still I haven't received any decision, so can I know when can I expect my decision and is there any chances for my approval
Hi I applied on Sep 09 at Bangalore so far didn’t get updates almost 36 days passed why this much time taking ?
As per current trend you may get the update in this week.
Hope so
I submitted my visa on 31 August and my serial no is 0040 but it is not there . i ensure courior also.
Applied from Mumbai on 28th September. Have non refundable travel starting 23rd Oct. What are the chances of getting it in next 4 days? Status says still with The Hague in Netherlands.
Very less, you might have to reschedule based on the current timeline
France Consulate of Kolkata sent an email to my HR regarding the verification of my job/NOC/Payslip on 14th Oct. I applied on Sep 24 at VFS Kol.
Normally they never do. If visa officer feel, they may do. I dont think so, anyone can predict this
Is this a positive sign ? How many more days it may take
Finally got the refusal and the wait is over after waiting 50 days the result was very disappointed
Was it a tourist visa ? And did you add other countries in the itinerary?
For Netherlands that a tourist visa yes I add other Schengen States in the itenary not Australia i applied seprate application to save the time
I have submitted in 30th September I see the number past my application is already being dispatched via Bluedart but mine is still showing dispatched to Dutch embassy New Delhi.
Yeah I applied on 9th September yet there is no update!! It shows the same status till now
Any difference in processing times for business/tourism visa from New Delhi?
gave my biometric and documents on 30th Sept, still waiting, had to delay my onward travel got the same swiss schengen last time in 8 calendar days, its been 15 today this time around, still no passport
Hi Anmol, I got message today that my passport is dispatched. My application date was 28th September. So may be this week you will get the update.
VFS just emailed: your application is processed and in transit from the New Delhi Embassy to the VFS Operation Center. Lets see when i can go pick it up
Let me start by saying how amazing this site has been in helping track the applications. Now my situation, both my wife and I applied for our Schengen Visa to Netherlands together on 08.09.26. Mine has been dispatched on 13.10.26 (EES is okay so I am assuming it is approved). However my wife's is still not dispatched. We were under the same reference number except for the last digit (mine was 01 l, hers was 02) Is this normal?
Hi JJ, let us know about your visa when you get your passport.
I got my Passport yesterday with the approved VISA. My wife's is still not processed. Anyone else with similar experience please share
Still awaiting 14rh September updates. Applied from kolkata
Oh kolkata.... Show some mercy to France applications. 21 days passed.
I Submitted passport on 18th September and my flight date is 6th oct now I changed the date as 28th October but still I m not sure, I will receive the visa and passport before that or not???
It’s better to have at least 45 days from the date of application. The recent trend is that people are getting their passports back after 40 days.
Yes but it's a group booking of corporate tour so no chance to reshuffle now..
Thanks Visatrackr because of you I had a track of my application timeline throughout. God bless you! For everyone's knowledge - my application date was 31st August received my passport back with visa today 14th October. Total processing days - 44 days.
I also just got my passport with visa ( multi entry ,90days) I got the same befor also but to my surprise it took in total 46 days . That’s a lot . So all of you pls keep in mind that it is normal to get the decision dragged to 45 days. Mind you this is not the peak season. Thank you all for the help and the information . TLYK I havnt gotten any email via VFS regarding the visa dispatch.
Any idea when EES status get changed?
As soon as they process your application, the status changes
Hi NV, my application date was 28th September. Normal tourist visa.
I have had two Schengen visas before [both this year, one for work (March) and the other for tourism (July)]. I applied for a Netherlands visa on September 28, 2026, for work travel scheduled to begin on October 25, 2026, from Delhi, as I have been here for some time. I have an H-1 B, a job in the US, and Canadian PR, so I was hoping the process would be seamless, given my travel history. Unfortunately, there has been radio silence since my application. Any idea what could be the holdup?
Not sure but i believe that very early applications either are the straightforward rejects or maybe the orange carpet
Hi KD as per my observations they are not processing application in orders. I also have valid b1/b2 and canada visitor visa. I have also applied on September 28. Waiting for the response.
Really surprised by 14sep applications pace - passport dispatches before and after this day are high but for 14Sep (my application date from Delhi), dispatches remain low.
Same
Just saw the update from 6 to 8 passports dispatched of 14th sept applications. Let's see today guys.
Hi, if anyone has recieved their visa for netherlands from vfs delhi (applied on 1st,2nd september) can you share your status? If it was rejected or not? My travel dates were 1-10 oct and i applied on 1st september, really worried if they will reject it as my travel dates have passed so any help is appreciated
they may not reject - you may still get the visa. Several people whose travel date has passed have got their visa's. Mine has not come- I applied at VFS Bangalore on Aug 28 - and reached embassy on 31st Aug.
1 September file received in embassy still not get any reply

Aslam whats your coupon Number?

Estonia visa processing from Ahmedabad
Estonia is a smaller Schengen destination from India with relatively fast processing times. Tallinn's growing tech scene attracts business travellers, while the country's medieval Old Town draws tourists. Lower application volumes typically mean shorter wait times.
Estonia Schengen Visa Processing Time from Ahmedabad, India
We've seen 10 passports returned from VFS Ahmedabad since 3 Jul 2026, 4% of all the Estonia passports we track. The latest dispatch we saw was on 19 Oct 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 8 Oct 2026.
Every number here comes from BlueDart courier dispatches: when the embassy finishes an application, the passport goes back through BlueDart, and we check those shipments several times a day.
