Visa Center Procedures in any: real experience from chats

Short answer
Passport collection at VFS Global centers typically occurs on weekdays, often between 9 AM and 2 PM, though hours vary by location. You must provide a Russian passport or driver's license, and some centers may allow collection by a spouse with a marriage certificate.

From real experience

At VFS Global centers, passport collection is typically free of charge between 13:00 and 15:00 on weekdays.
Collection outside these hours (e.g., after 14:00 or 15:00) may incur an additional fee. Passports can also be collected in the morning. Specific hours should always be verified with the local VFS Global center.

After your visa application status shows that your passport has been returned to the Visa Application Center (VAC), documents can typically be collected individually.
The operating hours for document collection are usually Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 2 PM, on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are unable to reach the VAC by phone, inquiring at the center directly or through online forums can provide specific details about the collection process.

When collecting documents from a visa center, a Russian passport or driver's license is required.
Collection can be done with an appointment, and sometimes documents can be picked up on behalf of another person (e.g., a spouse) with a marriage certificate. It's advisable to check appointment availability and specific procedures.
