If you are applying from York, the supplied catalogue lists supported visa routes in Manchester and Edinburgh. Manchester is the nearest listed centre, with France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain routes shown through TLScontact, VFS Global and BLS International. This guide sets out the listed addresses, estimated driving times and appointment-day checks. Availability changes, so confirm current provider instructions and your appointment details before travelling. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications for the route you select, while the official provider booking page remains the place to book.
The nearest listed centre for York is TLScontact Manchester Visa Application Centre at 1 Portland Street, Manchester M1 3BE. The supplied estimate is 92 minutes from the centre of York, using a driving estimate. The catalogue also lists VFS Global Manchester at 50 Devonshire Street North, Manchester M12 6JH, and BLS Spain Visa Application Centre at Unit 1, 205 Chapel Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5PF. Their estimated driving times are 92 and 90 minutes. Traffic, road closures and your starting point can change these estimates.
Edinburgh is the other listed centre: TLScontact Edinburgh Visa Application Centre, Argyle House, 3 Lady Lawson Street, Edinburgh EH3 9DR. Its supplied estimate from York's centre is 253 minutes of driving. The Manchester TLScontact location is close to Piccadilly Gardens, according to the supplied centre guidance. For France at Manchester, check the appointment-specific arrival instructions; for VFS routes, check the destination-specific page and confirmation. For Spain, check the current submission time and courier requirements before travelling from York.
Your destination determines which listed route is relevant. From Manchester, the catalogue shows France through TLScontact; Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global; and Spain through BLS International. It also shows France through TLScontact in Edinburgh. These are the supplied York routes, not a statement that every provider centre is included. Check the official booking page for the destination and confirm that the centre, provider and application instructions match your appointment before making travel arrangements.
The supplied list places three centres in Manchester, with estimated driving times of 90 to 92 minutes from York's centre. Edinburgh is listed at 253 minutes from York's centre. Treat these figures as planning estimates rather than fixed journey times: the source caveat says live traffic, road closures and the applicant's starting point can alter them. Build your own schedule around the confirmed appointment instructions, and allow enough time for arrival checks without relying on an estimated figure alone.
Match the destination, provider and centre address on your appointment confirmation with the relevant official provider page. Manchester has separate TLScontact, VFS Global and BLS International locations, so do not assume that every Manchester appointment uses the same building.
Before travelling, review the destination-specific provider guidance and your confirmation. The supplied notes call out different checks, including arrival instructions for France and current submission time and courier requirements for Spain. Keep the relevant instructions available when planning the appointment day.
The listed driving times are estimates from the centre of York. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point may change the journey, so use the Manchester and Edinburgh figures as planning references rather than promises.
The Cancellation Finder can provide email and SMS notifications for your chosen route, but it does not replace the official provider process. Check the booking page, follow its instructions and keep your appointment confirmation accessible. Availability changes, so an update is not a guarantee of an appointment.
