For applicants in Shannon, the supported centre options supplied here are in Dublin, with routes for the Netherlands, Portugal, France, Italy and Spain. The closest listed location is the VFS Global Dublin Visa Application Centre at Cunningham House, 130 Francis Street, Dublin 8. The French, Italian and Spanish routes use other Dublin locations and providers. The Cancellation Finder can help you follow a selected route, but availability changes, so confirm the current official instructions and appointment details before travelling.
The VFS Global centre is the listed home for the Netherlands and Portugal routes from Dublin. Its address is Cunningham House, 130 Francis Street, Dublin 8, D08 H48R. The French route is listed at the French Embassy Visa Office, 66 Fitzwilliam Lane, Dublin D02 HP38. These entries have different official guidance, so a Netherlands or Portugal applicant should use the VFS information, while a France applicant should follow the French appointment platform for current instructions.
For Italy, the supplied destination is handled at the Embassy of Italy, 63-65 Northumberland Road, Dublin 4, D04 VA89. Spain is listed at the BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, 2A Chamberlain Court, Richmond Avenue, Drumcondra, Dublin D03 DY93. This is the supported selection in the supplied catalogue, not a complete list of every possible centre. Check the destination's official page for submission and collection instructions where applicable before planning travel from Shannon for that route.
The centre cards show driving estimates calculated from the centre of Shannon. The supplied times to the listed Dublin locations run from 153 minutes to 160 minutes, but they are not fixed journey times. Live traffic, road closures and the precise point where you start can affect the trip. Plan for a buffer and keep the confirmed address to hand, particularly because the centres are in different parts of Dublin, with separate addresses to check.
A practical plan is to confirm the route first, then check the matching centre instructions before arranging travel. VFS Global asks applicants to bring appointment confirmation and destination documents. The French guidance points to its official platform, Italian appointments use the official system, and BLS Spain asks applicants to check current submission and collection times. These instructions can change, so review them again before departure, and keep the selected address available for the journey ahead.
Netherlands and Portugal are listed with VFS Global, France and Italy with embassy offices, and Spain with BLS International. Keep the provider name beside your confirmation so the correct official instructions are easy to check.
The Shannon figures are driving estimates from the location centre, not guaranteed arrival times. Traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey, so leave a sensible buffer around the appointment.
VFS Global specifically names the appointment confirmation and destination documents. For every other route, read the relevant official guidance and prepare only what that destination and provider request for your application.
The BLS Spain entry advises checking current submission and collection times. Confirm those details, the Drumcondra address and your appointment before leaving Shannon, and keep the current information ready to use.
