Livingston is well placed for the Edinburgh centres listed on this page. The nearest is the TLScontact Edinburgh Visa Application Centre at Argyle House, followed by BLS International at Dock Place and VFS Global at Rennie's Isle. Together, the supported entries cover France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, with Manchester shown as a further Spain option. This guide explains the centre links, estimated driving times and appointment-day planning. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications, but availability and instructions can change.
France is linked to the TLScontact Edinburgh Visa Application Centre at Argyle House, 3 Lady Lawson Street, Edinburgh EH3 9DR. The supplied estimate from Livingston is 29 minutes. Spain is listed at the BLS centre at Suite 1A, 6 Dock Place, Edinburgh EH6 6LU, with a 36-minute estimate. Check the France and Spain provider pages alongside your confirmation, because document and submission instructions are route-specific and can change before you travel to Edinburgh for the appointment.
The VFS Global Edinburgh Visa Application Centre at 1 Rennie's Isle, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 6QT is linked to the Italy, Netherlands and Portugal entries. Each has a listed estimate of 37 minutes from Livingston. VFS guidance says no on-site parking is listed, and asks applicants to check current travel and security guidance. Verify the destination, address and arrival requirements before setting off. Read the confirmation again before leaving home for this Edinburgh appointment on the confirmed date.
The supplied journey figures are driving estimates calculated from the centre of Livingston. They show 29 minutes to TLScontact Edinburgh, 36 minutes to BLS Edinburgh, 37 minutes to VFS Edinburgh and 244 minutes to BLS Spain in Manchester. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can change these figures. Use the centre cards as planning references, then check conditions before leaving for the appointment and allow a sensible buffer for possible local delays.
Edinburgh contains three different supported providers, so a short journey does not remove the need to verify the location. TLScontact is at Argyle House, BLS is at Dock Place, and VFS is at Rennie's Isle in Leith. If you choose the Manchester Spain option instead, the address is Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, M3 5PF. Use the full postcode and destination shown in the provider confirmation when arranging the journey, rather than relying on the city name alone.
TLScontact's France centre is at Argyle House, BLS Spain is at Dock Place, and VFS Global is at Rennie's Isle. Write the provider, destination and postcode together before travelling. Edinburgh has several supported centres, so the city name alone is not enough.
The listed Edinburgh estimates are 29, 36 and 37 minutes from Livingston's centre. They remain estimates rather than live traffic forecasts. Check the conditions on the day, allow time to find the correct building, and keep your confirmation available for any arrival questions.
VFS guidance does not list on-site parking at Rennie's Isle. Treat that as a reason to check current travel arrangements, not as evidence about other nearby facilities. Confirm the destination-specific VFS instructions and leave enough time for the journey, building access and appointment arrival requirements.
Keep Manchester as a distinct fallback route, not an interchangeable Edinburgh booking. Its listed Spain centre is in Salford and the estimated journey is much longer. If availability changes, recheck the city, provider, address and confirmation before changing your travel plans.
