Netherlands Visa processing time - 23+ days from India (Delhi Embassy)

Hey everyone,

Wanted to check if anyone else who submitted their Netherlands Schengen visa application from India around mid-July is still waiting on their passport.

My Timeline:

• VFS Location: Bengaluru
• Reached Delhi Embassy (CSO): July 21, 2026
• Flight Date: August 26, 2026
• Current Status: Still "In Process" (23 calendar days passed)

Is 23–25 calendar days normal right now for the Netherlands Embassy in Delhi? I know it's peak summer season, but I'm getting anxious since my travel date is coming up in under 2 weeks.

Has anyone with similar submission dates gotten their dispatch SMS yet?

Thanks!
