For visa applicants in Rhondda, the supplied catalogue offers a London France route and a wider Manchester selection for France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. The closest listed centre is TLScontact in Wandsworth, although the Manchester alternatives may suit different destinations. This guide sets out the supported pairings, addresses and estimated driving times, with practical checks for a longer journey. It also explains how the Cancellation Finder sends email and SMS notifications without guaranteeing availability or replacing the official provider booking process.
The nearest supported centre for Rhondda in the supplied list is TLScontact London Visa Application Centre at 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. It supports France, and the supplied driving estimate from Rhondda's named centre is 209 minutes. The London route is separate from the Manchester France route, so do not assume that a France appointment can use either location. Check the provider page and confirmation carefully before arranging the journey or documents.
Manchester has three listed centre addresses for Rhondda. TLScontact at 1 Portland Street supports France, VFS Global at 50 Devonshire Street North supports Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, and BLS Spain Visa Application Centre at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, supports Spain. Their supplied estimates are 244, 244 and 245 minutes respectively. Verify the destination and provider before booking. Then compare the address in your confirmation with the official page before making travel plans.
The Rhondda estimates are driving calculations from the centre of the named location. TLScontact London is listed at 209 minutes, TLScontact Manchester and VFS Global Manchester at 244 minutes, and BLS Spain Manchester at 245 minutes. These figures can change with live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point. Allow time beyond the estimate, and check the confirmed location before leaving. Keep the provider instructions and appointment confirmation both available for reference on departure.
Choose the city and provider that match the destination: France is listed in London through TLScontact and in Manchester through TLScontact; Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal are listed in Manchester through VFS Global; Spain is listed there through BLS International. The catalogue is not a complete centre directory. Use official route guidance to confirm jurisdiction, documents and booking steps before making plans for the selected destination and appointment rather than selecting another centre by assumption.
For the London France route, the listed centre is 18 Ryeland Boulevard, Ram Quarter, Wandsworth, London SW18 1UN. Check the France route page and appointment confirmation before travelling, and compare both with the address supplied for your selected appointment.
Manchester has three different listed providers, not one shared visa centre. Match France to TLScontact at 1 Portland Street, the Italy, Netherlands or Portugal route to VFS Global, and Spain to BLS International. Recheck the provider name before setting off.
Use the official destination guidance to check the documents and submission basis for your application. The listed route shows where an appointment may be available, but it does not replace provider instructions. Keep your confirmation, destination details and centre address together for the journey.
With London and Manchester both listed, compare the estimated journey and destination before accepting a date. Availability can change, and an email and SMS notification is not a guarantee. Leave room for traffic and road closures, then verify the current provider instructions shortly before departure.
