Slovenia visa processing time from Bangalore: about 10 days right now
Slovenia visas from VFS Bangalore 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 15 days (median), 9 in 10 within 27 days.
Based on 81 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. 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. 🙏
What time does it get updated? Applied on 18th sept and travel is on 19th oct Monday
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
A frustrating journey has come to an end after 30 days for a business visa!! The longest VISA processing time I have ever witnessed.. Hope Netherlands will rectify this in future... BTW thank you @VisaTracker team for the platform...
@Visatrackr my passport has been dispatched today.. why is it not on this tracking site?
mine passport got dispach today application date is 9th sept from ccu but ees is still not ok without entering date

How are you guys checking EES?
Just want to share this awesome news with the gang. Finally I see my EES ok sometime back. Just curious, when can I expect my passport? My flights is this Sunday.
Hey congrats, when did you apply
On 7th Sep from Hyderabad, reached Delhi on 10th, just seen this status sometime back. Also, my intended travel was 11th Oct, rescheduled to 18th Oct. lol.
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
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
Hi Applied for Netherlands Schengen on 16th Sep from Blr. Travel planned for 17th Oct. With onward travel to US on 22nd Oct. Since I could not miss the us trip requested for passport withdrawal at vfs blr 2 days back. It was dispatched yesterday as per the tracker. Though EES is not Ok, hoping that the visa is issued. Wish me luck 🍀
Hi Aditi best wishes for your visa.
@Aditi , I have my trip planned to japan on 29th , pls let me know the withdrawal process?
Hi . I just checked my passport has been dispatched . It took them precisely 44 days . I just check the EES for both myself & my daughter , it says OK. So it means that visa is approved? Thats for sure na? Big big thanks to @visa trackr for all that you are doing. Huge respect. Pls if someone can clarify on the EES status, would appreciate.
Yes ideally if it shows OK in EES, your visa is approved. However the site itself says that you cannot rely on the result as to your visa approval. Apparently there have been very few instances where it was erroneous. It pretty much means it is approved but not “officially” communicated by them to you.
Anyone applied on 10th sept as a tourist visa and got their passports back
Ok pls let me know if you receive any update @VS Have you applied as a tourist?
@ NV, not tourist. Mine is visiting family. How about urs?
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?
Got my Visa today - finally. I had submitted on Aug 28, and was due to travel on October 7 - now the visa is of now point- had to cancel my tickets. No notification from VFS on sms or email - this site was the only way I knew the passport is coming today

Hi all, I've applied for Netherlands visa from Pune on 15th October. VFS tracking says dispatched to Dutch embassy till now. I am new to this, any information regarding tracking would help. Thanks!
Visatrackr I applied for my short term Netherlands visa on 1st September at vfs delhi there has been no updates until till now and my travel date was 7th October.Any idea ? 2nd September onwards passports have been dispatched. Application No. - NLD/DEL/010926/0038/01 Any idea what is happening?
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of the 29 European countries using the system.
U can check it on above mentioned link.
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!
Will the visa still be issued if the travel date has passed? Do they ask for updated flight and hotel reservations?
they still issue it, in most cases they don't ask for new details
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.
Slovenia visa processing from Bangalore
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 Bangalore, India
Applications at VFS Bangalore are waiting about 10 days right now, 14 days less than the Slovenia average across India (24 days). That makes it the quickest of the 8 Slovenia centres with enough recent data. We've seen 81 passports returned from VFS Bangalore since 10 Jul 2026, 15% of all the Slovenia passports we track. Most of them left on Wednesdays and Fridays. 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.
