For a Portugal tourist visa appointment from Esher, the relevant application centre is the VFS Portugal Visa Application Centre in London, at 66 Wilson Street, EC2A 2BT. Surrey appears on the London residence list, so if you legally reside in Surrey, London is the centre indicated by that list, subject to the wider visa requirements.
If you would like help monitoring for a matching date, MyVisaPing’s London Portugal appointment search is an optional paid service.
VFS lists Surrey among the locations whose residents may apply at its London Portugal centre. Applicants assigned to the Portuguese Consulate in London must submit there; the centre is not simply an alternative to choose because it is convenient. Its address is 66 Wilson Street, EC2A 2BT. Check the VFS London centre page before travelling for current practical information.
The residence list uses county names and is undated, so confirm that it still applies to your circumstances before making plans. Portugal applications should normally be made in the country where you legally reside. UK submission normally requires a valid passport or travel document and valid UK residence permission. People assigned to the Portuguese Consulate in Manchester use Manchester or Edinburgh instead.
For a Schengen short-stay visa, Portugal should be the sole destination or the main destination, assessed by the length or purpose of the stay. If no main destination can be established, the relevant state is generally the first one whose external Schengen border you plan to cross. The Tourist category covers leisure, recreation or sightseeing when you arrange your own accommodation.
A UK short-stay C-visa does not generally qualify someone for the tourist route. VFS says applications from C-visa holders can be accepted only for essential travel, subject to the mission’s assessment. Check your circumstances and use the official visa type guidance before proceeding.
VFS requires every applicant, including children and infants, to attend in person with an appointment booked online. Use the official VFS appointment booking page to make your booking. A MyVisaPing search begins after confirmed payment and sends email notifications when a matching appointment is detected. SMS notifications are available where enabled, supported and possible, but carrier delivery is not guaranteed.
A notification does not reserve or hold a slot. You must complete the booking personally through VFS. You can also check the official booking service without buying notifications; the paid service is optional support if you prefer alerts to checking the booking page yourself.
For a tourist application, check the current VFS checklist and organise the signed application form, a short statement explaining your trip, and evidence of travel and accommodation covering your itinerary. The guidance also calls for travel insurance covering the Schengen area and financial evidence. Keep names, dates and addresses consistent across documents, and bring originals for presentation with photocopies unless an original must be submitted.
The passport guidance specifies at least two blank pages, issue within the last ten years, and validity extending three months beyond departure from the Schengen Area. UK residence evidence can include a digital share code, and residence permission should remain valid at least one month after your return. Employed applicants need recent employer confirmation and payslips; students need a recent enrolment letter. Review VFS guidance on what to bring for your situation. The mission may request further documents.
VFS lists London submission hours as Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 13:00, and passport collection hours as 16:00 to 17:30 on weekdays. Recheck the centre page before travelling. The London centre lists card payment and says cash is accepted only there. It has wheelchair access ramps and accessible lifts; applicants needing assistance are encouraged to bring someone to help.
If no date suits, first check that you are using the correct centre and visa category. Decide which dates you could attend and use the waiting time to get your paperwork in order. When you are ready for optional matching notifications, start a London Portugal appointment search with MyVisaPing.
Start with the destination, not just the city. France is linked to TLScontact, Italy to VFS Global, Spain to BLS International, and the listed Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark options to VFS Global. Select the corresponding provider page before accepting an appointment.
Write down the full address shown in your confirmation. Wandsworth, Pocock Street, St Andrew Street and Wilson Street represent different London locations. The VFS note says the address can vary by destination, so do not rely on a previous visit or another applicant's instructions.
Use the Esher journey estimate as a guide only. It is calculated from the named location's centre and can change with traffic, road closures or your starting point. Leave flexibility around the appointment time, particularly when the confirmed centre is in a different part of London.
Check the provider instructions for your destination and visa category before the day. The BLS Spain guidance requires the documents and appointment confirmation for the category, while the other centre pages have their own arrival details. Keep the instructions with your travel documents.
