Luxembourg visa processing time from Pune: about 20 days right now
Luxembourg visas from VFS Pune are taking about 20 days right now. Most passports from applications made on 29 Sept 2026 are now out. People who applied 1½ to 3 months ago waited about 22 days (median), 9 in 10 within 28 days.
Based on 69 passports we've seen dispatched by BlueDart · 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. Luxembourg 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. 🙏
They worked so hard today. Sent whole lot of 3 passports for Mumbai.
Thanks you. Day 39 ,but still the same.. i didn't opt for courier so I'm assuming I won't get the tracking on this site?
If you opted for self pick up then no you won’t get tracking here. But you can track via VFS website
I applied for my visa to Netherlands on 7th sep from Hyderabad. This past Friday the EES status turned to OK. My travel dates while applying were, oct 11-nov 17. I missed my older flight. Just want to understand is it safe to book a flight for this Friday early hours? Also, tentatively, what would be my visa start date? I see it's given for 45 days.
dont put any
@NS thank you
I submitted my passport on 11 August vfs Jalandhar when i get my passport back
August or October?
Hlo vijay 9 month paper hai apke?
I had applied on 7 sep for three of us. Spouse plus child. This is our third visit in 3 years. Our visas came today. My spouse got 2 years, child got 1 and I got 6 months! It is so random! I was the sponsor for my kid and they gave him a longer visa than me ! Anyone with a similar experience? What influences this decision.
Could it be because of passport validity? Mine expires mid of year 2027
Submission date - 1st Oct for Netherlands ,from Bengaluru, If I want to withdraw my passport for urgent other country travel, how many days does it take for it to come back to me ? Also if anyone has done it , if you can share the procedure , really appreciate it !
A friend of mine had to withdraw his passport for similar reasons, so he emailed the embassy. He got a response the next business day and got his passport back within 5-6 days.
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.
applied on 1 october at vfs delhi , application reached emassy on 5th oct when can i expect? travel in November mid @visatrackr
@OVV How did you check the EES? I got dispatch message today morning. my last schengen travel was 10 years ago. My ees shows NOT OK, but my sister who is in Europe at the moment, her EES also shows NOT OK
i dont know how this EES works, for me it was not ok till today morning got ok by 12pm approx travel-europe.europa.eu give ur passport no and other details as asked and check
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
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
Hi, I applied on 9th for Switzerland from Pune VFS, does anyone who has applied on 9th has received any update on passport dispatch?
I applied for a Polish Type D work visa through VFS Delhi on September 15th; today marks the completion of 29 calendar days and 20 working days. My application status still shows as "under process."
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.
Can see that my passport is dispatched now but EES still shows “Not Ok”, Dies that mean visa rejected? Anyone had similar experience?
Hi Ak, EEs not ok doesn't not necessarily means your visa is rejected sometimes it update after day or two. Wait for your passport and let us know.
Anyone applied on 10th sept from blr and got their passports back?
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?
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
Why no dispatches today?
If i am asked for additional documents like latest salary slips till for last 3 month again (september was not submitted earlier as my application was in september), are there more chances of rejection?
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
Luxembourg visa processing from Pune
Luxembourg processes a small volume of Schengen visa applications from India, primarily for business travel to the country's financial sector. Processing times are generally fast due to low volumes, making it one of the quicker Schengen visas to obtain.
Luxembourg Schengen Visa Processing Time from Pune, India
Applications at VFS Pune are waiting about 20 days right now, about the same as the Luxembourg average across India (21 days). That makes it number 4, counting from the quickest, of the 7 Luxembourg centres with enough recent data. We've seen 69 passports returned from VFS Pune since 10 Jul 2026, 9% of all the Luxembourg passports we track. Most of them left on Thursdays and Fridays. The latest dispatch we saw was on 12 Oct 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 29 Sept 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.
