For applicants in Cobh, the supplied visa appointment locations are in Dublin. The nearest listed centre is a VFS Global location, while France, Italy and Germany use the named embassy or consulate offices in Dublin. The routes supplied here cover the Netherlands, Portugal, France, Italy and Germany. This guide brings together the addresses, journey estimates and route-specific checks. Availability changes, so confirm the official booking instructions and appointment requirements before arranging the trip from Cobh.
Cobh's nearest listed centre is the VFS Global Dublin Visa Application Centre at Cunningham House, 130 Francis Street, Dublin 8, D08 H48R. The supplied estimate from the centre of Cobh is 184 minutes. It is linked to the Netherlands and Portugal routes. The other listed Dublin offices are the French Embassy Visa Office at 66 Fitzwilliam Lane, the Embassy of Italy at 63-65 Northumberland Road, and the German Embassy at 31 Trimleston Avenue, Booterstown, Blackrock.
The French office has an estimated journey time of 187 minutes from Cobh and the Italy office is also listed at 187 minutes. Germany is listed at 193 minutes. Their route links are France, Italy and Germany respectively, with each office's guidance directing applicants to the relevant official appointment system. The VFS Dublin listing carries the Netherlands and Portugal links. These are the supplied centres for this guide, not a claim that every visa office is included.
Check the destination before using the address. The VFS Global Dublin centre at Cunningham House, 130 Francis Street, Dublin 8, D08 H48R is linked here to the Netherlands and Portugal. France uses 66 Fitzwilliam Lane, Dublin D02 HP38; Italy uses 63-65 Northumberland Road, Dublin 4, D04 VA89; and Germany uses 31 Trimleston Avenue, Booterstown, Blackrock, Dublin A94 TX94. Match the provider, destination and postcode to the confirmation before setting off from Cobh for the appointment day.
The supplied figures are driving estimates calculated from the centre of Cobh, not from your own starting point. They are 184 minutes to the VFS Dublin listing, 187 minutes to both the French and Italian offices, and 193 minutes to the German Embassy. Live traffic, road closures and the starting point can change the journey, so treat the timings as planning guidance and allow flexibility around attendance at the relevant Dublin address on the day.
Confirm which Dublin office serves your destination before travelling. The VFS Global centre is linked to Netherlands and Portugal, while France, Italy and Germany use the named official offices. Do not assume that one Dublin address applies to every route.
Read the appointment confirmation alongside the relevant official page. The French, Italian and German guidance points applicants to their official appointment systems, while the VFS centre guidance asks for the confirmation and destination documents before travelling.
Keep the address and postcode available on the day. Dublin has separate listed offices for the four route groups, and the German guidance states that personal attendance is by appointment. Check current access information before setting off.
The 184 to 193-minute figures are estimates from Cobh's centre. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can alter the journey, so build flexibility into the Dublin visit instead of treating the published time as an exact arrival schedule.
