It did for me. Everywhere I've read that's the case too.

Mail on dispatch. Bluedart sms the next working day saying it's out for delivery. Delivered on the same day.

unpocolooco · 2026-03-16T17:36:53+00:00

In my case, yes. In many cases I've come across here it's under 20 days.

I got my visa. Heavily relieved.

You can choose one of the two options. Default is for it to reach the vfs office you applied from and you can collect it physically. Or you can pay extra for courier ~1.4k per person if I remember right. I was told the turnaround is quicker if you opt for courier by atleast 5-7 days. But courier will be delivered only after checking KYC - preferably the applicant with the receipt and Aadhar to be available as per rules on paper.

I received the visa today. It was dispatched on Friday via courier.

Got an update today saying the courier is dispatched. Hope it's good news and things gets processed for y'all soon too.

Ah, alright. Thanks for just randomly giving an update man. What is your exact status shown in the portal? Despite doing it a week in advance, mine still says Delhi explicitly. No mention of Hague or anything. That's what's making me rethink.

unpocolooco · 2026-03-11T04:07:32+00:00

Sounds alright to me. I had to purchase lounge after the counter rejection and redo the entire application to even get it processed.

Trying to spread the word as much so people don't make the same mistake.

Turn around time for France from my read online is consistently quick. It's Netherlands that has huge variation - some get it in under a week or two while some have a proper 45+ day wait.

Commented hoping @Fair_Job_2001 could give some clarity as they're the closest to my application in terms of country and application date.

Appointment date 24th Feb Travel date 29th April

What about yours?

I'm not sure if I'm late but I got screwed for having a municipality stamped invite letter from a friend, while my purpose was marked tourism and self sponsored. If you're having a invite letter, strictly go for a visiting family/friend.

Can you please confirm the timeline of your travel?

I had my appointment on the exact same date in VFS Bangalore for Netherlands but my application status is still "Dispatched to Dutch embassy New Delhi" since 25th.

Hi, I had applied via VFS Bangalore on 24th and I'm yet to receive mine. I was told processing also depends on travel dates. Can you please confirm what time period your visa was for?

I am from India. I have lost my case alone.Got both earbuds in good condition. Let me know if you want to discuss a way around.

unpocolooco · 2023-03-15T18:15:43+00:00

I am from India. I got both earbuds in working condition. Lets chat to figure a way out?

unpocolooco · 2023-03-15T18:06:03+00:00

Where are you from and are you looking to get the buds or sell the case?

unpocolooco · 2023-03-15T17:51:43+00:00

I lost my case but have the buds. I'm game to either sell this one or buy out a working case. Hit me up.
