The nearest supported centre shown for Kidderminster is TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE. Its listed driving estimate is 125 minutes from the centre of Kidderminster.

Use the full address and confirmation for your route, because the application city alone does not identify every Manchester option. Check the provider details before departure.
