Check the France route page and your appointment confirmation before travelling.
Check the Italy appointment confirmation before travelling because provider instructions can change.
Attend only with the documents and appointment confirmation required for your visa category.
VFS addresses can vary by destination. This centre is linked only to the routes listed on this page.
Driving distances and times are estimates calculated from the centre of the named location. Live traffic, road closures and the applicant starting point can change the journey.
For a Portugal tourist Schengen visa from Worthing, check the VFS Portugal Visa Application Centre in London. West Sussex is named on VFS’s London residence list, so a Worthing resident falls within the listed area, subject to confirming the list still applies and meeting the other requirements.
Book through the official VFS appointment service. For optional help monitoring for a matching appointment, MyVisaPing’s London Portugal finder sends notifications when one is detected.
Portugal’s UK visa guidance assigns applications according to the applicant’s residence jurisdiction. West Sussex is named on the London residence list, and VFS says residents of counties assigned to the Portuguese Consulate in London can submit only at its London centre. That makes London the relevant centre to check from Worthing, rather than choosing another centre simply because it seems closer or shows a date.
The residence list is undated and includes historical or overlapping place names, so confirm with VFS that it applies to your current residence before booking. The London centre is at 66 Wilson Street, EC2A 2BT. Its listed submission hours are Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 13:00; check the centre page for current details before travelling.
Manchester and Edinburgh have a separate residence list. A date at either centre does not by itself mean you can apply there. Your route depends on the provider’s residence rules, not which calendar looks more convenient. Check your residence jurisdiction before spending time comparing dates across centres.
A Schengen application should be made in the country where you legally reside, to the country responsible for your trip. Portugal is responsible when it is your only Schengen destination or the main destination by length of stay or purpose. If no main destination can be determined, responsibility generally falls to the country whose external border you enter first.
This page focuses on tourist applications, including applications for minors. UK short-stay C-visa holders are not generally eligible for the tourist route: VFS says their applications are limited to essential travel and subject to the mission’s assessment. UK applications normally require a valid passport or travel document and valid UK residence permission. Check the official visa-type guidance if your purpose is not tourism.
If the official calendar does not show a suitable date, you can continue checking it yourself or use optional notifications. MyVisaPing’s search starts after confirmed payment. When a matching appointment is detected, this email-enabled route sends an email. SMS is available where enabled, supported and possible, although carrier delivery is not guaranteed.
A notification does not reserve or hold a slot. You book personally through the official provider, and neither notification nor booking speed is guaranteed. Before monitoring, decide which London dates you could attend and keep the VFS booking page easy to reach. This makes it simpler to assess whether a date suits your plans and continue through the official booking process.
Every applicant, including children and infants, must attend in person with an appointment booked online. A minor must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Check the London centre’s current submission hours and attendance instructions before arranging your visit.
Use time spent checking for a date to organise your application. VFS guidance covers the form, passport, UK residence evidence, travel itinerary, accommodation, insurance and financial documents. Requirements vary with your circumstances, so consult the current Portugal guidance on what to bring and the relevant checklist rather than relying on a general list.
The guidance accepts a digital share code as UK residence evidence. Check how to provide it and whether your status remains valid for the required period. If a child is applying, plan for them to attend and arrange for a parent or guardian to accompany them. Having key documents and workable travel dates ready makes it easier to assess an appointment notification without rushing.
If London is the right centre for your residence and you want matching appointment notifications, start with MyVisaPing’s London Portugal finder. Keep the official VFS booking process ready so you can personally choose and book a suitable date.
Treat the journey as a careful day plan rather than relying on the listed estimate. The supplied 84-minute TLScontact figure starts at Worthing's centre, and traffic, closures or your actual starting point can extend it. Keep your appointment confirmation accessible throughout the journey.
Match each destination to its listed centre: France is TLScontact in Wandsworth, Italy is VFS Global on Pocock Street, Spain is BLS on St Andrew Street, and Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia and Denmark use VFS Global on Wilson Street. Check current instructions.
Take the documents and confirmation required for your visa category. BLS guidance links attendance to those items. For Italy and France, recheck the relevant official guidance and appointment confirmation before leaving, as both centre notes tell applicants to check before travelling.
