Malta visa processing time from Jaipur
We haven't seen a new Malta visa passport dispatched from VFS Jaipur since 18 Sept 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. Malta 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the highest one dispatched that we haven't seen: that application may still be with the embassy, collected in person, withdrawn, or the number may never have been used.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 received my passport yesterday, had applied in VFS Bangalore along with my infant and my husband. But there Is no update on my husband and infant's passport. Is this common ? Even when you all have submitted together with similar documents on same day? My travel is day after, do you think Ill be able to receive their passports today?
Hi team, I applied for Switzerland tourist visa on 9th October, have received initial confirmation emails and now it’s under process, by when can I expect my visa to arrive? Has anyone applied around the same dates?

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
I got my visa for 60 days single entry applied on 9 th sept from ccu. EES status is not worked for me as it still showing not ok. I guess ees only help when your trip date is very near or it givw positive sign before dispatch but dont take it as negative sign at all
Is it a tourist visa? Did your travel date pass before receiving passport?

Passport application date 28th September, reached embassy on 30th September. Dispatched from switzerland embassy today. But EES still shows as NOT OK. When can i expect the EES status to be updated?
refused :/ they mentioned that the intention is not clear even though i mentioned everything
ohh :( might be the same for me then
“Is anyone still waiting for the 10th September update?” Thanks!
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."
They are hardly moving 10th sept applications Anyone who is waiting for it?
Wait bro minimum 10-15 days more Relax your results will come soon
Mine is 11th sept it's also not processing since last few days, my travel is nearing
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.
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
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

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?
Anyone from 3rd september application date got their visa? If yes when and what was your travel date?
Netherlands visa request from Mumbai submitted on Sept 9, application no.32, 01 and 02 - 2 passport delivered today. Those are not shown on this website.
Finally got bluedart dispatch message. Shipment out for delivery. No email from vfs or the embassy. Day 41. This has been a ride.
Can you tell me the procedure to check EES?
what was ur application date?
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
Three of us applied for a Switzerland business visa on 21 September 2026 at the Chennai VFS center. Our applications reached Delhi on 23 September 2026. Since then, we have not received any update regarding the status of our applications. Our original travel date was 02 October 2026. Due to the delay in visa processing, we have postponed our travel to 16 October 2026. We have already been waiting for a considerable period.
Hi KP. It is embassy's decision on which applications are picked. It is surely frustrating that they do not pick applications in any particular order. But please note that this site is not affiliated to embassy or vfs hence we can not know anything about specific applications. The site is built to see general trends and get a sense of processing speed to plan things better.
Thank you @Visatracker you are doing a great job
24th Sept application. Switzerland. Travel date was marked as 2nd Oct. Visa in transit now.

Malta visa processing from Jaipur
Malta processes Schengen visas from India at a moderate pace. The island nation attracts tourists with its Mediterranean climate, historic sites, and English-speaking environment. Application volumes are lower than mainland European countries, often resulting in reasonable processing times.
Malta Schengen Visa Processing Time from Jaipur, India
We've seen 16 passports returned from VFS Jaipur since 14 Jul 2026, 1% of all the Malta passports we track. The latest dispatch we saw was on 18 Sept 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 1 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.
