Leeds applicants are shown several Manchester routes, with a further France option in Edinburgh. The closest supported centre by the supplied estimated driving distance is TLScontact Manchester, listed at 42.2 miles and 58 minutes from Leeds's centre. VFS Global and BLS International centres are also listed in Manchester. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications as availability changes, but current provider instructions and the correct destination application route must be confirmed before travel.
TLScontact Manchester is the nearest listed centre for Leeds by distance: 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, with a supplied estimate of 42.2 miles and 58 minutes from Leeds's centre. The Manchester list also includes VFS Global at 50 Devonshire Street North and BLS Spain at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford. France is additionally listed through TLScontact Edinburgh, so compare the route and destination guidance before selecting an appointment.
The listed Manchester routes cover Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, while the Edinburgh option is for France. BLS International, TLScontact and VFS Global appear across these routes. The centre list is specific to the supplied guide, so check the selected destination's current UK instructions and confirm that the centre shown is appropriate for your application.
Leeds's Manchester options use separate addresses: TLScontact is at 1 Portland Street, VFS Global at 50 Devonshire Street North, and BLS Spain at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford. The listed Edinburgh France option is at Argyle House, 3 Lady Lawson Street, Edinburgh EH3 9DR, and is estimated at 224.1 miles and 266 minutes from Leeds's centre. All figures are estimated driving distances and times from Leeds's centre; traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the journey.
The Manchester estimates are close to one another, but the centres are not at the same address. Use the provider and destination named in your confirmation rather than relying on a general Manchester assumption. If you choose Edinburgh, check the France appointment confirmation and provider page before setting off, as its journey estimate is substantially longer.
For France through TLScontact Manchester, check the France provider page and appointment confirmation for arrival instructions. The centre is close to Piccadilly Gardens and the address is 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE, so verify both before leaving Leeds.
For Italy, the Netherlands or Portugal, check the destination-specific VFS Global page and appointment confirmation. These routes use the Manchester centre at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH. Make sure the destination shown in your booking matches the instructions you have followed.
The Leeds estimates use the centre of Leeds as the starting point and are not fixed journey times. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change the trip, so leave sensible contingency rather than planning to arrive at the last possible minute.
For the Edinburgh France route, confirm the TLScontact address as Argyle House, 3 Lady Lawson Street, Edinburgh EH3 9DR. Review the provider page and appointment confirmation before travelling, since instructions for the Manchester centres may not apply there.
