How to Check Sweden Embassy Dhaka Visa Status: Approval or Rejection Without Passport Collection?
No, without passport collection, you cannot confirm whether your Sweden visa has been approved or refused. The tracking status you see—“Processed application has been received at the Sweden Visa Application Centre DHAKA, from the Sweden Embassy, Bangladesh on 16/03/2025.”—only means that the decision has been made and sent back to the Visa Application Centre (VAC). It does not indicate whether the visa is approved or refused.
Possible Ways to Know Before Passport Collection:
-
Email or Call the Embassy/VAC:
- You can try contacting the Sweden Visa Application Centre (VFS Global in Dhaka) or the Swedish Embassy in Dhaka to ask if they provide any updates over the phone or email. However, most embassies do not disclose visa decisions this way.
-
Check for an Email from the Embassy:
- Sometimes, embassies email applicants if additional documents are required or if the visa is refused (but this is not always the case). Check your inbox and spam folder.
-
Passport Collection (Final Confirmation):
- The only sure way to know if your visa is approved or refused is by collecting your passport. If your visa is granted, you will see the visa sticker inside your passport. If refused, there will be a refusal letter inside the passport, stating the reasons for rejection.
