Netherlands Visa Application Centres in Mumbai and Pune will be closed on two September dates
VFS Global has announced that its Netherlands Visa Application Centres in Mumbai and Pune will be closed on 14 September 2026 for Ganesh Chaturthi and on 25 September 2026 for Ganesh Visarjan.
If you have a Netherlands visa appointment, passport collection, or another centre visit planned around either date, check your booking and the official VFS Global India notice before travelling.
Who should check their plans
- Applicants due to attend a Netherlands visa appointment in Mumbai or Pune.
- Applicants expecting to submit documents, provide biometrics, or collect a passport through either centre.
- Travel agents and family members coordinating a centre visit for an applicant.
What to do next
- Do not assume an alternative appointment or collection arrangement is available.
- Use the official VFS Global Netherlands-in-India website to confirm centre information and your individual booking.
- Allow additional time in your travel plan where a centre visit falls close to either closure date.
