Estonia visa processing time from Goa
We haven't seen a new Estonia visa passport dispatched from VFS Goa since 23 Jul 2026, so we can't say how long applications are taking right now. See all of India or compare centres.

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the highest one dispatched that we haven't seen: that application may still be with the embassy, collected in person, withdrawn, or the number may never have been used.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 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
After how long does the passport get dispatched once the EES turns okay?
What was your application date?
Did you opt for courier? I somehow feel people who opted for additional services are getting a response, but people who didn't have zero updates. Like I applied on 11 sep, and it's dead silence since then
mine passport got dispach today application date is 9th sept from ccu but ees is still not ok without entering date
Date putting my date of arrival ie, 18 th january ti NL BUT IT IS SHOWING NOT OK
How are you guys checking EES?
Applied in Bangalore VFS on 8th October for a family of 4. Still the status is under process at Embassy of Switzerland in India. How long will it take?

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
Finally it’s dispatched! It’s been a weirdly fun and irritating journey. The kind of support given by random people you know you will never meet is so real and incredible. Thank you guys so much. Thanks a lot @VisaTrackr keep doing the good work ❤️ (Application date : 1st sept)
I have a question. I applied for a Belgium visa at the Mumbai Consulate on August 28, and my intended travel date was September 20. However, my visa application is still under processing. When checking the EES system, which date should I use?
Hi Anju.. you can use the next intended travel dates. If it says OK most likely your visa is approved. If NOTOK try different dates.
Anyone applied on 10th sept as a tourist visa and got their passports back
Ok pls let me know if you receive any update @VS Have you applied as a tourist?
@ NV, not tourist. Mine is visiting family. How about urs?
What is the status of 1st September? Today is my 42nd day.
Krish Bro thanks alot. How about your application status ? Also I did not opt for the courier service option. I opted for the self collection option.
@Krish highly appreciated 👍
Application Date - 1st September Any Updates Guys? 43 days already.
I also applied for the Dutch visa from Pune my application was on 10th sept in VFS, and application reached to Embassy on 14th it's been 33 days still no update, it is showing application under review that's it!
Hey , any update so far on mail or vfs site @aditya
Hi Aditya , any update received so far?
Hello!once u cross the 45 days marker and when you connect the embassy do they raise a ticket ? If some one can tell me what is the next step.
Anyone got mail or ees update related to visa dispatch today?
How can you track through EES? Can someone please guide me?
Checked on VFS site around 5 pm but there is no email yet
We applied for our Netherlands visa on 4th September, and our planned travel was today. Unfortunately, even after 35 days, we have received no update on the application, so we had to cancel our journey. We are now considering withdrawing the application, but even that does not guarantee an immediate return of our passports. Has anyone faced a similar situation or can suggest what would be the best course of action at this stage?
I'd suggest waiting. I submitted on 2nd, and the travel date was yesterday. I've heard that they will actively trying to do it before 45 days mark. I shifted it to 10th which is 2 days after 45 days. You've waited all this while so why not a little more? Unless you want to go somewhere that doesn't require a visa. Vfs said they can get you the passport within 48 hrs or less if you withdraw
I mean I shifted it to 20th*
I applied for a Netherlands visa on 25 August, and my VFS status still says: "Your application has been dispatched to the Dutch Embassy in New Delhi and will be processed accordingly." My travel date is 9 October. Since the status has not changed, does this mean I may not receive my passport before then? I also saw that 33 applications from 25 August were dispatched yesterday. Is there still a chance that my passport could be dispatched today?
I booked via Makemytrip, the cancellation is 17k per head and reschedule is 7k+difference in fare. It's difficult to decide. If not this Oct, I may recshedule to Nov during Deepavali
Same no update yet..applied on 14th sept

Estonia visa processing from Goa
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 Goa, India
We've seen 3 passports returned from VFS Goa since 17 Jul 2026, 1% of all the Estonia passports we track. The latest dispatch we saw was on 23 Jul 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 15 Jul 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.
