We don't have enough completed Iceland visa applications from VFS Hyderabad yet to say how long they're taking. We've seen 3 passports dispatched so far. 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. Iceland 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the highest one dispatched that we haven't seen: that application may still be with the embassy, collected in person, withdrawn, or the number may never have been used.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. 🙏
No dispatch from Kolkata for France after Sep 25 ???
Hi Ananya, we checked this. Nothing is wrong with the tracking: we look up every France Kolkata reference number on Blue Dart five times a day, and other countries' Kolkata passports went out on 28–30 Sept as normal. France Kolkata is a small centre that sends passports in batches, often a week or more apart (this month: 3–4, 14–15, 21–22 and 24–25 Sept). Since August, the usual wait from application to dispatch has been about 5 days, and 7–8 days is common when you just miss a batch. Applications from 24 Sept will most likely go out with the next batch, and they'll show here as soon as Blue Dart has them.
Thank you for the reply
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
Hey everyone, I applied for my study visa from Bangalore on September 14th. Has anyone who applied on, before, or after that date received an update yet?
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
Is there a way to get statistics of portugal visa applications submitted at Goa embassy and from Pune City?
I applied for my Netherlands Schengen visa at VFS Bangalore on 4th September 2026, and my application reached the Embassy on 8th September 2026. However, I have not received any updates on my application so far, and my travel date is 18th November 2026 has. Could you please let me know the current status of my application and advise me on what I should do next?
Woww. You applied quite early. You don't have to worry imo. You'll get the results before your travel date
I could see other applications which was applied on the same date, been processed. But not mine.
Applied on 25th sept, reached to embassy on 29th sept, no update since then. Ees also shows not ok Flight is on 22 oct Worried af
Why are there no passports dispatches or Pune on 9th or 12th to any later dates? I applied on 9th oct for Switzerland visa, I see a lot of other cities have processed a few from the same dates but just not Pune.
5 of us applied on 4 September and our travel is on 4 October night. Our status is still showing that the application is under processing, and we are extremely worried because of the 2 October holiday and the weekend. Been speaking with Embassy in New Delhi and VFS, but both are of no use. Suggest how to proceed
Finally only one of our passports got dispatched through bluedart on 14th Sep, rest 4 applications no progress yet, but ESS shows OKAY for us and for the passport that got dispatched today too.
@VisaTrackr Got my passport delivered now to my house. My serial number is 23 from 4 Sep applications, but strangely not updated anywhere yet, neither here nor on the VFS website, only ESS turned okay
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..
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.
Thanks a lot everyone for your wonderful help and have been grateful for this website. Hats off to the creator 💯 I finally received my passport today after 44 days of wait application date - 01/09/2026 Off to Amsterdam now !!!! 🎉 🎉 Good luck to all those who are waiting You all will get through 🫶🏻
I got my Ess ok passport dispatched Thank you @visatracker Application date 31 August
Hi Jaspreet let us know about your visa when you got your passport.
I Contacted the netherlands worlwide and recieved the following msg To whom it may concern. You have recently contacted us regarding the status of your visa application. • Your application is visible and has been processed. but i couldn't see any update on vfs site and also on bluedart
@NM you can call them on this number +91 11 24 19 76 00. But only if your application date has passed 45 days... They ll raise a signal and let you know that the embassy ll process on high priority and email you.. if you dont hear from VFS within 10 days of raising signal.. then u ll hv to call the number again after 10 days..
Hey @HK, do you know how many days it takes after signaling your application?
Why does the site say that it will update at 3pm and then 6pm - we are waiting eagerly but it’s not getting updated. Now the time has moved to 12am. Why isn’t it updating?
We all are in the same boat. And this site is the closest to as accurate as it can get. They are doing god’s work what VFS or the embassy should be doing. Of course there could be few errors but we get a bird’s eye view of what’s going on.
Hi LK, we update several times a day, but Blue Dart collects passports from VFS only at night, so the big jump shows after the night run. Daytime runs mostly fill in older dates and family members' passports. On accuracy: is something specific looking wrong? Every date comes from Blue Dart's public tracking, and many people saw their dispatch here before VFS told them. See reviews Thanks Krish, that means a lot!
Has anyone had their EES status turn OK from NOT OK but still their visas have not been dispatched or updated or processed?
When does this site gets updated
Every night around 12 to 1 am
On which email can we mail the swiss consulate for queries?
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?
Has anyone's status got changed to dispatch on VFS Today?

I would like to know if anyones status on VFS got updated to Dispatch for 09/10/2026 today..
It's really annoying
Iceland visa processing from Hyderabad
Iceland is a niche but growing destination for Indian travellers. The Northern Lights, Blue Lagoon, and dramatic landscapes attract tourists year-round. Processing volumes are low, which often means faster turnaround times from the embassy.
Iceland Schengen Visa Processing Time from Hyderabad, India
We've seen 3 passports returned from VFS Hyderabad since 11 Sept 2026, 2% of all the Iceland passports we track. The latest dispatch we saw was on 7 Oct 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 1 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.
