How can I check the approval status of my Dutch tourist visa application when VFS Global doesn’t recognize my reference number?

Hi guys, a quick maybe strange question. We got a SMS with an update, that your visa proses application is ready to be picked up. But nowhere can we find if the status was approved or no. And when we go to the vfs global to track our status, it says it doesn't recognize our reference number. Can't call either, cause they are closed in thailand now. Is there a different way to check the status, or just wait for the passport to arrive? It's for dutch tourist visum. Thanks
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the approval status of their Dutch tourist visa application after receiving an SMS indicating the application is ready for pickup, but without confirmation of approval. They are unable to track their status on VFS Global due to a recognition issue with their reference number and cannot reach customer service as they are closed in Thailand. Comments suggest that the status may not explicitly state approval or rejection, and it is likely that the user will have to wait for their passport to arrive to determine the outcome.

You just open the passport and hope to see a Visa, just as my wife did (UK Visa)

VFS global check page will display the same message as SMS/email did, it doesn't say approved/rejected, so you have to wait for the passport to arrive.

This was the case for us when applying for a Schengen visa earlier this month.

I received an email advising rejection and the following day the passport was despatched by courier (an optional extra).
