Slovenia visa processing time from Ahmedabad: about 18 days right now
Slovenia visas from VFS Ahmedabad are taking about 18 days right now. Most passports from applications made on 1 Oct 2026 are now out. People who applied 1½ to 3 months ago waited about 16 days (median), 9 in 10 within 31 days.
Based on 19 passports we've seen dispatched by BlueDart, only 9 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. Slovenia 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. 🙏
Their system is beyond ridiculous. My husband and I applied on 11th September, and I was supposed to fly tomorrow. Just thinking out loud, wouldn’t it be simpler and fairer to process visas date wise instead of playing inky pinky ponky with applications? People are left hanging and unable to plan their lives while someone who applied on 11th Oct got their visa on 15th Oct. It’s beyond frustrating to see people who applied a month later get their visas in four days while you’re still waiting.
Hey @Ank did you get?
No, nothing. 38 days and counting, way past my travel dates now.
I have applied on 30th September for netherlands visa. I have travel date on 30th oct will i be able to get the visa by then.
It's little bit risky.... generally they take 38 to 43 days as i start traking from last month...mine also passed 30 days but no update yet
Is the embassy closed on Monday?
I don't think so. As per Netherlands embassy site. It's a holiday on Tuesday. Link:
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.
France Consulate of Kolkata sent an email to my HR regarding the verification of my job/NOC/Payslip on 14th Oct. I applied on Sep 24 at VFS Kol.
Normally they never do. If visa officer feel, they may do. I dont think so, anyone can predict this
Is this a positive sign ? How many more days it may take
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.
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..
my wait ends here ! Its good tool, reduces some of your anxiety Thanks
Applied on 4th Sep, Almost 39 days
Applied on 10th sept , almost 34 days
Hi! While checking EES, if departure date has still time but arrival date has passed. Application says it’s with embassy. Which dates to fill in EES? The same I opted for or any other date? Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!
Search without filling the dates, as the dates are not compulsory
So disappointed with this overall timeline . Been almost 38 days and had my other trips planned but no update yet. They shouldn’t be even allowed to hold passport so long . Delhi -Netherland embassy
My application was submitted on 18 sept. Haven't got the passport yet.
Hi bhunit. travel-europe.europa.eu Check on this website enter ur passport number and your traveling date. If your application says ok, then it means your application is approved. That what's people say on this platform. Not sure whether it's 100 approved or not If your application is no processed it says not Ok
Thank you for the information. Does it work for long stay visa?
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
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!
I applied on 14th Sept from VFS Delhi , got message that it got dispatched to ambassy on 15th sept , after that i didn't get any updates. My travel date is 21 oct , will i get my passport back before that?
I had submitted my malta study visa at 28 sep at vfs delhi my application no is MFT/DEL/280926/0003/01. Currently showing dispatched to cvu malta from 6 oct approx when I get my passport back?
On which email can we mail the swiss consulate for queries?
They barely moved today wth is going on!!
Yeah there have been 0 passports dispatched on 12th october??? Why? 😭 Was their office shut or something?
Okay nevermind the site got updated. Mine still not dispatched though. 😭
Does anyone have any guidance on the Netherlands visa processing timeline, particularly whether applications are typically processed and passports dispatched within the stipulated 45 days? Also, could you please suggest the appropriate process for escalating the matter if there is a delay beyond this timeline?
Read the top heading of this page for processing time. If delayed you can call embassy numbers or mail them
You can call NetherlandsWorldwide at: +31 247 247 247, but they say they cannot do anything until 45 calendar days have passed.
Kindly share an update if anyone has any inputs for my parents’ visa and passport status. They applied on 9 September, and their travel date is 15 October. As there is no update yet, we are concerned, Thank you! 🙏
Same here , even I am waiting to travel on 15th oct and applied on 10th sept
We all have to be ready to cancel it’s most likely not coming. Applied on 7th, travelling on 17th. Cannot imagine how inconsiderate these people can be.
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.
Slovenia visa processing from Ahmedabad
Slovenia is a smaller Schengen destination that processes Indian visa applications efficiently. Ljubljana and Lake Bled are popular tourist spots. Lower application volumes typically mean faster processing compared to the major Schengen countries.
Slovenia Schengen Visa Processing Time from Ahmedabad, India
Applications at VFS Ahmedabad are waiting about 18 days right now, 6 days less than the Slovenia average across India (24 days). That makes it number 4, counting from the quickest, of the 8 Slovenia centres with enough recent data. We've seen 19 passports returned from VFS Ahmedabad since 3 Jul 2026, 4% of all the Slovenia passports we track. The latest dispatch we saw was on 19 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.
