Hereford applicants can use supported visa appointment routes in Manchester, with a separate France option listed in London. The nearest listed centre is the BLS International Spain centre in Manchester, followed closely by TLScontact and VFS Global choices there. The supplied driving figures are estimates from Hereford's centre, and traffic, road closures or a different starting point can change the journey. Availability changes, so review current provider instructions before choosing a date and arranging travel.
Manchester is the principal supported appointment location shown for Hereford. BLS International's Spain centre is at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF. TLScontact's France centre is at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, close to Piccadilly Gardens. VFS Global's centre is at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH. Confirm the provider and address because the Manchester locations are separate and should be checked against the appointment confirmation before you travel from Hereford that day.
Hereford's listed supported routes are Spain from Manchester, France from Manchester, Italy from Manchester, the Netherlands from Manchester, Portugal from Manchester and France from London. BLS International handles the listed Spain choices, TLScontact handles France, and VFS Global handles Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal in Manchester. Use the official destination guidance to check the correct application location and visa category before selecting a route. Read the current provider instructions again while preparing your documents for travel.
The supplied figures place the Manchester centres close together in comparison with the London option, but small differences should not be treated as exact journey predictions. Each driving distance and time estimate is calculated from the centre of Hereford. Traffic, road closures and your starting point can change the result, so check the confirmed address and appointment time before deciding how much travel time to allow for the full journey on that day from home.
BLS International advises checking current submission time and courier requirements for its Manchester Spain centre. TLScontact directs applicants to the France provider page and appointment-specific arrival instructions for Manchester, while the London France option also requires checking the route page and confirmation. VFS Global asks applicants to use the destination-specific page and confirmation. Keep those checks current if plans change after an email and SMS notification, because your preparation time may be shorter than planned on the day.
Confirm whether your appointment is with BLS International, TLScontact or VFS Global before leaving Hereford. The Manchester addresses are not interchangeable, and the France route can also point to London. Match the centre name and postcode in the confirmation with your journey plan.
For the Manchester Spain centre, check BLS International's current submission-time and courier guidance. For France, use the applicable TLScontact page and confirmation, whether the appointment is in Manchester or London. Do not carry assumptions from one destination into another.
Prepare the documents required for your visa category and keep the appointment confirmation accessible. VFS Global's guidance is destination-specific, so check the relevant Italy, Netherlands or Portugal page if using Manchester. Review the official route evidence again before attending.
Use the supplied driving figures as estimates from Hereford's centre, not as a fixed promise for your address. Traffic, road closures and your starting point can change the journey. Check the confirmed time and address, then leave a practical buffer for the day.
