Ellesmere Port applicants have supported appointment options in Manchester, with one further Spain route listed for London. The nearest listed centre by supplied distance is TLScontact Manchester at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, with an estimated driving time of 52 minutes from the centre of Ellesmere Port. VFS Global and BLS International also have Manchester entries, while the London Spain option is much longer by the supplied estimate. Availability changes, so check the relevant provider page before travelling.
Manchester is the main supported location in this guide. TLScontact's centre is at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, and its supplied driving estimate is 52 minutes. VFS Global's Manchester centre is at 50 Devonshire Street North, M12 6JH, also estimated at 52 minutes. BLS Spain is at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF, with a 49-minute estimate from the centre of Ellesmere Port, although traffic, road closures and your starting point can alter the journey on the day.
The listed route choices are France from Manchester through TLScontact; Italy, Netherlands and Portugal from Manchester through VFS Global; and Spain from Manchester through BLS International. Spain is also listed from London through BLS International. These entries identify application city and destination, but they do not remove the need to check whether your application belongs with that destination and centre. Confirm the current official instructions before selecting a route for your application and travel plans.
Plan around the individual Manchester address rather than the city name alone. The France appointment centre is on Portland Street; the VFS Global centre is on Devonshire Street North; and the BLS Spain centre is in Salford on Chapel Street. The supplied guidance says the TLScontact centre is close to Piccadilly Gardens, but appointment-specific arrival instructions still need checking. Use the address in your confirmation rather than an older booking message or saved note alone.
For Ellesmere Port, the listed driving estimates are 49 minutes to BLS Spain Manchester, 52 minutes to both TLScontact and VFS Global in Manchester, and 245 minutes to BLS Spain London. These are calculated from the centre of the named location. Traffic, road closures and your actual starting point may change them, so leave practical time for the journey and verify provider instructions before setting out from Ellesmere Port on appointment day for your booking.
France is linked to TLScontact Manchester, Italy, Netherlands and Portugal to VFS Global Manchester, and Spain to BLS International. Confirm that your destination, application city and provider agree before you use a booking page or travel.
Manchester has three different listed addresses across TLScontact, VFS Global and BLS International. Put the exact postcode from your confirmation into your journey plan, then compare it with the official centre page before departure. Do not assume all Manchester submissions share one building.
The 49-minute BLS Manchester figure is shorter than the 52-minute estimates for the other Manchester centres, but all are planning estimates. Traffic, closures and your starting point can alter the journey. Keep a sensible buffer and check the provider's arrival instructions.
An email and SMS notification from the Cancellation Finder is a reason to review the official booking page, not a confirmed appointment. Availability changes and a place may no longer be shown when you check. Keep your application information ready so you can make an informed decision.
