Applicants in Bebington can use supported visa appointment routes in Manchester, with a London option listed for Spain. The nearest supported centre in the supplied list is the TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, with an estimated driving time of 62 minutes from Bebington's centre. This guide sets out the listed destinations, centre details and practical preparation points. Availability changes, so confirm the current provider instructions and appointment requirements before travelling.
The Manchester entries in the supplied list cover several destinations through different application providers. France is listed with TLScontact at the Portland Street centre. Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal are listed with VFS Global at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH. Spain is listed with BLS International at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF. A separate Spain route is listed at the BLS London centre. Use the destination-specific booking page attached to the route record, rather than assuming one centre serves every destination.
The supplied route records show France from Manchester through TLScontact, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal from Manchester through VFS Global, and Spain from Manchester or London through BLS International. The listed route records each show a £24.99 base price in GBP and a 30-day duration, but availability and provider instructions can change. Before choosing a route, compare the destination, application city and provider, then open the official booking page and confirm that its current instructions fit your application.
The three Manchester centres listed here have different addresses, even though they serve routes in the same application city. TLScontact is at 1 Portland Street and its guidance places it close to Piccadilly Gardens. VFS Global is at 50 Devonshire Street North, while BLS International is at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street in Salford. The supplied driving estimates from Bebington's centre are 62 minutes to the TLScontact and VFS locations, and 58 minutes to BLS. Treat these as planning estimates, not fixed journey times.
If your selected route is Spain and the Manchester option does not suit your appointment, the supplied list also includes BLS Spain Visa Application Centre, London, at 20 St Andrew Street, London EC4A 3AG. Its estimated driving time from Bebington's centre is 254 minutes. That is a substantial journey, so check the appointment confirmation, document list and any category requirements before setting off. For Manchester BLS submissions, the centre guidance specifically says to check current submission time and courier requirements.
Check the destination, application city and provider before selecting a route. France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain use different listed providers or centres around Manchester and London. Keep the official booking page as the final reference for the route you intend to use.
Start with the supplied driving estimate, then add time for traffic, road closures and the part of Bebington from which you leave. The estimate is calculated from the named location's centre, so it cannot represent every applicant's actual journey. Recheck the appointment address before departure.
Use centre-specific guidance instead of a general Manchester assumption. TLScontact gives appointment-specific France arrival instructions, VFS directs applicants to the destination page and confirmation, and BLS highlights submission time and courier requirements. Recheck these details because provider instructions can change.
If you use the Cancellation Finder, review an email and SMS notification only after checking the official provider page. Availability changes, and a notification does not replace the provider's booking process, appointment confirmation or document requirements. Keep route and travel plans aligned.
