Chesterfield applicants using the supported routes in this guide have three listed application centres in Manchester, plus a London option for Spain. The closest supported centre is the VFS Global Manchester Visa Application Centre on Devonshire Street North, linked to Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. TLScontact handles the listed France route, while BLS International handles Spain. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications when appointment availability changes, but applicants must confirm the provider's current instructions and centre details before travel.
The nearest supported centre listed for Chesterfield is VFS Global Manchester Visa Application Centre, 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH. The supplied estimate from the centre of Chesterfield is 45.3 miles and 80 minutes by driving. It is linked to Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal. The TLScontact Manchester centre is at 1 Portland Street, while BLS Spain is at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford.
The supplied Manchester routes are Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, France through TLScontact, and Spain through BLS International. Spain also appears at the listed London BLS centre. Check the relevant destination guidance and provider page before choosing, because a route listed here does not by itself confirm the correct application centre for your circumstances or settle any jurisdiction question before booking an appointment.
Manchester's listed addresses are separate: 50 Devonshire Street North for VFS Global, 1 Portland Street for TLScontact, and Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford for BLS International. The TLScontact guidance places that centre close to Piccadilly Gardens. Check your confirmation for the exact destination and provider before setting out, particularly when several routes share Manchester. Confirm the address again before travel to avoid using the wrong centre.
The supplied driving estimates from Chesterfield are 45.3 miles and 80 minutes to VFS Global, 46.5 miles and 84 minutes to TLScontact, and 47.6 miles and 88 minutes to BLS Manchester. London Spain is 150.6 miles and 184 minutes. These estimates use Chesterfield's centre and can change with traffic, closures or your starting point. Treat them as planning figures, not fixed arrival times on the day.
Check whether your confirmation names VFS Global, TLScontact or BLS International, then match the city, address and destination. Manchester has three separate listed centres, and the London Spain centre is a different location, so use the details for your actual booking.
Prepare the documents required for your visa category and carry your appointment confirmation. For Spain, check BLS International's current submission time and courier requirements; for France, check TLScontact's arrival guidance; for VFS destinations, use the destination-specific page.
Use these as planning estimates: 80 to 88 minutes for the listed Manchester centres and 184 minutes for London Spain. Traffic, road closures and your starting point can alter the journey, so leave a sensible margin.
