Hungary visa processing time from Gurugram: about 10 days right now
Hungary visas from VFS Gurugram are taking about 10 days right now. Most passports from applications made on 9 Oct 2026 are now out. People who applied 1½ to 3 months ago waited about 12 days (median), 9 in 10 within 17 days.
Based on 40 passports we've seen dispatched by BlueDart, only 21 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. Hungary 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. 🙏
My status on VFS got updated to dispatched on 16/10.. but EES says NOT OK.. does that mean it got rejected?
Not necessarily. Sometimes it takes time to update. Some people got their passport with visa before EES turned ok so don’t worry. Hopefully it comes with a stamp🤞🏻
Did you get Visa and what is your EEES status
Clarification for NLDCC[removed for privacy]01101, I applied for the withdrawal of the application since my travel for conference is not feasible at later date. So, don't consider it as decision taken of by the embassy/CSO
15th sept application from Kolkata
Why applications submit through jalandhar vfs taking long vfs work is just to forward documents to embassy not decision making ,then why the wait is long for Jalandhar
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.
Hi All, My Family applied for visa at Chennai on 10th of September and it is submitted to Delhi on 14th of September . Status remains same from then that it is processing in Netherlands And their travel date is 22nd of October. Should we count the calendar days from visa appointment date or from the time of passport submitted to Delhi date. Could you please help. Thanks in advance.
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
my wait ends here ! Its good tool, reduces some of your anxiety Thanks

Hi guys. Could someone help me understand how long it takes to get the visa from Delhi embassy to Bangalore once the VFS sends email that Visa application has been processed? Are weekends included or they don’t ship on weekends?
They ship everyday. Regardless of Holidays, if they dispatched it yesterday, you will receive it by afternoon today. BlueDart is pretty fast here
Anyone got mail or ees update related to visa dispatch today?

Checked on VFS site around 5 pm but there is no email yet

Hey tourist or business visa ?
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*
Had submitted my application on 28th aug for Netherlands and today finally I got back my passport with the visa stamped. Haven't checked the EES status as of now. Thanks to this place as it helped me know that I wasn't the only one who was worried. Its just the system and the processing which is slow. All the best to everyone who have been waiting for their visas.
that is great!

Hungary visa processing from Gurugram
Hungary is an increasingly popular Schengen destination from India. Budapest offers an affordable European city break, and the embassy processes applications at a reasonable pace. Processing times are typically shorter than the major Western European countries.
Hungary Schengen Visa Processing Time from Gurugram, India
Applications at VFS Gurugram are waiting about 10 days right now, 4 days less than the Hungary average across India (14 days). That makes it number 5, counting from the quickest, of the 7 Hungary centres with enough recent data. We've seen 40 passports returned from VFS Gurugram since 21 Jul 2026, 3% of all the Hungary passports we track. Most of them left on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The latest dispatch we saw was on 19 Oct 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 9 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.
