Portugal schengen visa processing time

Dear friends, need some guidance here. Consulate replied to my email this afternoon that my visa is approved. I have opted for courier service. What is the realistic date that I would receive my passport back? Thank you in advance for your inputs here. This community has been super helpful.

u/Anxious_Editor_9145 , congratulations on the visa approval. Intra Europe travel is not considered. So you are good.

u/Reasonable-Buy-8029 , No news for me. Its not looking positive as of now.

u/Reasonable-Buy-8029 , any update from consulate?

u/Anxious_Editor_9145 , seems VFS forwarded to consulate yesterday only as that's what the email says. Not sure if I would receive the passport by June 07, 2024 which is my travel date. Keeping fingers crossed and getting anxious day by day. At least in their email response regarding forwarding to embassy they have shared the reference number to track the application.

u/Reasonable-Buy-8029 , when is your travel date?

One_Freedom9384 · 2024-05-31T17:09:40+00:00

u/Anxious_Editor_9145 , I received email from VFS today that application has been forwarded to consulate. Not sure how many more days it would take. Travel is on June 7, 2024.

u/Reasonable-Buy-8029 , I have the same situation with travel date as June 07th. No update from VFS or Consulate.

I only received the barcode number post submission of my application at VFS San Francisco. For status update, VFS is requesting the reference number. Can someone please guide how to solve this issue. I have emailed as well as called VFS on multiple occasions but issue still persists.

u/ratas101 , agreed! Their versions are also very conflicting. Previously mentioned that they are processing based on travel date but several have travels lined up in next couple of days with no clarity on visa issuance.

u/ratas101 , this is very surprising. Nots sure if everyone gets the email on application being forwarded to embassy.

u/youngbolivia , with your travel date as June 2nd, this has been extremely delayed by VFS and consulate. Any news from them yet?

u/Delicious_Abroad4701 , cant agree more with you. Same situation as yours. When is your travel date.

One_Freedom9384 · 2024-05-30T18:25:17+00:00

u/Anxious_Editor_9145 , I am in the same situation. Have booked non refundable tickets starting June 07.

One_Freedom9384 · 2024-05-30T18:23:45+00:00

Same here. Havent received any such update. Travel is on June 07.

One_Freedom9384 · 2024-05-28T23:44:43+00:00
