Hi Bryanna,

Do you know how long it takes to stamp the passport after submission?

We submitted the passport on April 16th after receiving the request on April 14th...According to VFS the passport is in bangalore for processing.

Thanks in advance

Hi Seema,

Your dad is based in Chennai.... so his passport will go to the Bangalore Consulate for stamping.... normally, it takes a week or even less.... however, with current processing times being on the higher side, it may take a couple of days extra


Cheers :)

I cannot believe they can take more than 7 working days to stamp the passport. I imagined an online app will be processed quickly. Obviously, that is not the case.

Pls let me know as and when you receive the passport.

Thank you

Hi Bryana,

Thank you for replying. It is kind of frustrating with the delay just for stamping. We had imagined processing might take max of 3 weeks.. But with the current progress wonder how much longer.

Will keep you posted as and when I hear back.

Truly appreciate your support on this forum.

Thanks :)

Hi there, did you guys submit passport in person or by courier? My parents got PPR, they live in Punjab and I am wondering, should they go to Jalandhar or Chandigarh.

She submitted the passport along with the application since we went to VFS. Does the PPR say where to send the passport?

My parents' visa application got approved today with visa valid until passport expiry. Here's the timeline:

Applied in-person at VFS Office: 23 April 2015,
Application forwarded to Bangalore visa office.
Received passports with visa stamped (thro' blue dart): 05 May 2015.

Going by most of the previous posts, it looks like the processing times for on-line visitor visa applications are longer than in-person applications, at least for the Bangalore visa office. Other members can correct me if I am wrong. Just thought of posting the timeline so that if my assessment is true, then people who're about to apply can choose the in-person option over applying online. FYI.
