Estonia visa processing time from Hyderabad: about 6 days right now
Estonia visas from VFS Hyderabad are taking about 6 days right now. Most passports from applications made on 13 Oct 2026 are now out. People who applied 1½ to 3 months ago waited about 5 days (median), 9 in 10 within 7 days.
Based on 50 passports we've seen dispatched by BlueDart, only 7 of them old enough to count, so treat it as a rough guide · Updated
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. 🙏
Did they forget applications from 10th September 😏
We are also waiting We didn't get any message notification yet. Applied on 10th sep
9th september, no update yet
Hey fam, I am waiting for my visa and my travel is on 23rd. All it says is this: Your visa application with reference number: NLD/DEL/180926/0019/01 has been dispatched to the Dutch Embassy in New Delhi. Your application will be further processed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Netherlands.You will receive an automatic e-mail once your application has been processed. Any suggestions what to do here? :/
Based on the current trends you can wait till 22nd and reschedule the flights i think. Its normally taking around 40 days for the application.
Yeah, but still this doesn’t add up. And also there is no process or option to expedite or make changes etc
My EES has come ok, but I have not received any email from the Dutch Embassy. How is it possible, what should I do? My travel date 18th October!
When should my passport be dispatched tentatively
Any update on your passport @Janvi?
SEPT 14 applications Blr (and all cities) Classic VFS/Consulate glitch! When an entire date lot like Sept 14 stalls while dates before and after move... 1. Batch Bottlenecks: Physical/digital crates from Sept 14 likely got dumped into a single stagnant reviewer queue. 2. Holiday Glitch: Partial staffing around Sept 14 (Ganesh Chaturthi) disrupted processing logs. 3. Zero FIFO Will emailing the consulate with reference number and urgent travel date can trigger a manual que checks?
I APPLIES VISA ON 17TH SEPT. 21ST SEPT I RECEVIED INFO THAT IT HAS BEEN SUB,ITTED TO EMBASSY. MY TRAVEL DATE IS 31ST OCT. NO UPDATE TILL YET. ITS WORRYING ME. HOW CAN I TRACK ?
This site is great to check if your visa is dispatched and where the processing has reached. Or else keep checking EES status every working day at 9pm. VFS won't give any update.
We are in same bote i applied on 18th sep and my travel date is 29th oct....I think you will surely get the visa but it's may cut 2 cut...best of luck
Is there a way to get statistics of portugal visa applications submitted at Goa embassy and from Pune City?
I applied on 15th Sept, just see that it's been dispatched on this website (didn't get an email from VFS yet). The EES turned okay. It took be 30 days in total.
- WhatsApp (messages only, works from India over the internet): +31 85 773 7400 - Contact form: netherlandsworldwide.nl - Call the Embassy in New Delhi (a local call that connects to Netherlands Worldwide): 011 2419 7600
My EES for 4th Sept says OK now, I guess I wait for it to be dispatched
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?
Hey, My EES turned OK today evening and VFS status also says application is processed & dispatched but bluedart tracking is not showing any record. By when can I expect to get a tracking link?
Yes i got email and message both Processed application ref no has being dispatched via courier on 14/10/2026. - VFS Global
Hi Aman! Most of us did not receive any update from bluedart either. But if it says dispatched you will get it today. Try tracking in bluedart with ref no (not way bill). Ref no will be your application number without the slashes “/“
I don’t know if there’s some glitch with site or some issue with my internet. I can’t see update of 14th Oct.. Daily it goes around 12:00am.
Hi VS, you are right. I am checking whether VFS has not updated shipments or there is an issue in the site.
Question for those who opted for passport delivery. How long is it taking for bluedart to deliver the passport? (In past years they have delivered in a day for me) My travel is 16th oct night, applied on 7 sep. Still waiting. Will move tickets after today. But was wondering if there is merit in waiting for tomorrow’s batch as well.
For Mumbai i got my passport the very next day. Not sure of Banglore
Hi guys! EES just turned OK today at 11:10. Any idea when the passports will be dispatched?!
Mine turned ok as well
Update: VFS status changed to dispatched via courier
Got my Visa today - finally. I had submitted on Aug 28, and was due to travel on October 7 - now the visa is of now point- had to cancel my tickets. No notification from VFS on sms or email - this site was the only way I knew the passport is coming today
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?
24th Sept application. Switzerland. Travel date was marked as 2nd Oct. Visa in transit now.
Did you check your EES?
Applied on the same date ..travel date is 14 th Oct..still showing as under process... Is your EES okay?
What does ‘possible on a busy day’ mean?
The amount of applications for that particular day
So we are saying backlogs nearing 40 days, Kolkata is stuck for this week, but they have updated their website saying average processing time is 18-21 days.
Looking for suggestions - I applied on 2nd September, it still says under process and on here, it says "not seen yet". But does that mean that the embassy hasn't looked at our file yet? My box isn't green. My travel date is 10th September. Today is 9th. Does it make sense to wait to see the verdict or should I shift the travel date to next week (19th). Would I even get it then? How likely is rejection for a frequent traveller with no prior rejections or issues?
Hi Divya, not seen yet means that we have not seen your reference on Bluedart. 10th is tomorrow and if you haven't got message from VFS you should think of rescheduling. You can wait till midnight.
If you have flights booked, check the change/cancellation policy first. If changes must be made 24 hours before departure, I'd move the dates now. If you can modify closer to departure, you could wait until around 12:15 AM to see if your passport is dispatched and check your EES status. If you're able to travel later without major impact, moving the dates is the safer option.
If we get msg that passport is dispatched is it ok if EES says not ok When they usually update EES site?
I didnt get any msg for 10th sept application , but I am just asking
Can you pleas share EES site where i can check the status
Estonia visa processing from Hyderabad
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 Hyderabad, India
Applications at VFS Hyderabad are waiting about 6 days right now, 5 days less than the Estonia average across India (11 days). We've seen 50 passports returned from VFS Hyderabad since 3 Jul 2026, 22% of all the Estonia passports we track. Most of them left on Wednesdays and Fridays. The latest dispatch we saw was on 16 Oct 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 13 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.
