Slovenia visa processing time from Chennai
We haven't seen a new Slovenia visa passport dispatched from VFS Chennai since 23 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. 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the highest one dispatched that we haven't seen: that application may still be with the embassy, collected in person, withdrawn, or the number may never have been used.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. 🙏
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
Does the Consular Office process business visas separately from tourist visas? I applied on 6 October and hoping to attend and speak in a conference 21-23 October. I am aware it's a very tight turnaround time (I was invited quite late), but is it impossible?
My EES has come ok, but I have not received any email from the Dutch Embassy. How is it possible, what should I do? My travel date 18th October!
When should my passport be dispatched tentatively
Any update on your passport @Janvi?
SEPT 14 applications Blr (and all cities) Classic VFS/Consulate glitch! When an entire date lot like Sept 14 stalls while dates before and after move... 1. Batch Bottlenecks: Physical/digital crates from Sept 14 likely got dumped into a single stagnant reviewer queue. 2. Holiday Glitch: Partial staffing around Sept 14 (Ganesh Chaturthi) disrupted processing logs. 3. Zero FIFO Will emailing the consulate with reference number and urgent travel date can trigger a manual que checks?
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
Hi I applied on Sep 09 at Bangalore so far didn’t get updates almost 36 days passed why this much time taking ?
As per current trend you may get the update in this week.
Hope so
I submitted my passport on 11 August vfs Jalandhar when i get my passport back

Hlo vijay 9 month paper hai apke?

@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
Anyone who applied on Sept 25th for Switzerland, got EES update yet? Or dispatch message?
Hi SS, yesterday i got EES update. My passport is dispatched today.
This is my first Schengen visa, I have applied for Switzerland on 9th Oct from Pune, will the EES status update happen for me too? Or it just works for people who have already been to Schengen region and have their information fed to the system?
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
No Netherlands dispatches yet tonight (14 Oct) Our 11:30 PM and midnight checks found no Netherlands passports dispatched on 14 Oct, in any city. It isn't the tracker: tonight's checks found Germany (534), Switzerland (237), Austria (77) and France (34) passports dispatched on 14 Oct as usual. On most nights Netherlands passports show up on Blue Dart between about 10:45 PM and 1 AM, so they may just be late. We'll check again after the 1 AM run and update here. If nothing comes by morning, it means the embassy sent no passports back to VFS on 14 Oct.
Can they take their jobs any less seriously
Update, 1 AM: the 1 AM run is done. Only 2 Netherlands passports were dispatched on 14 Oct (1 Delhi, 1 Mumbai), against the usual 200–400 a day. So it looks like the embassy sent almost none back to VFS today. The tracker is working fine. Tomorrow evening's run will show the next batch.
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."
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 🫶🏻
Anyone applied on 10th sept from blr and got their passports back?
Hello!once u cross the 45 days marker and when you connect the embassy do they raise a ticket ? If some one can tell me what is the next step.
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.

Slovenia visa processing from Chennai
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 Chennai, India
We've seen 14 passports returned from VFS Chennai since 3 Jul 2026, 3% of all the Slovenia passports we track. The latest dispatch we saw was on 23 Sept 2026, and the newest application date with a passport out is 8 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.
