For applicants in Alexandria, the supported appointment centres listed here are in Washington DC. The nearest is the VFS Global Washington Visa Application Centre at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005, with a supplied driving estimate of 15 minutes from the centre of Alexandria. Other listed options cover Spain, France and Italy at separate Washington addresses. The Cancellation Finder can send email and SMS notifications for the listed routes, but current provider instructions must be checked, and the Spain guidance specifically asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction before booking.
Alexandria's nearest listed centre is connected to the Netherlands and Portugal routes through VFS Global. Spain uses the BLS Spain Visa Application Centre at 1660 L Street NW, Washington, France uses TLScontact at 1899 L Street NW, and Italy uses the Embassy of Italy Visa Office at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW. The addresses are not interchangeable. Check the destination and provider shown in your confirmation before travelling to Washington DC for the relevant application appointment at the selected centre.
The route list contains Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, Spain through BLS International, France through TLScontact and Italy through the Embassy of Italy. Each is shown as a 30-day Cancellation Finder option at USD 34.99, with an official booking link. The provider notes differ: VFS refers to destination-specific arrangements, BLS asks applicants to confirm jurisdiction, TLScontact highlights current security instructions, and Italy requires appointments. Check each official page before you plan the journey or rely on the listed address.
The nearest listed journey is estimated at 15 driving minutes from the centre of Alexandria to the VFS Global address on Vermont Avenue. That figure is not a promise for your departure point or appointment-day conditions. Live traffic, road closures and the starting point can change it. Match the confirmed time to the exact provider address, especially because the other listed centres are on L Street or Whitehaven Street in Washington DC, not a general city location.
Before leaving Alexandria, open the official page for the selected destination. VFS says submission arrangements can vary by destination; BLS links Washington to Spain and asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction; TLScontact directs applicants to current security instructions. The Italian embassy states that appointments are required and that it has no on-site parking, so do not plan to use embassy parking. Keep the appointment confirmation with your documents and check the postcode against it before setting out.
Read the provider and destination on your confirmation before travelling. VFS Vermont Avenue serves the Netherlands and Portugal routes listed here, while BLS, TLScontact and the Italian embassy use different Washington addresses. A correct provider check helps prevent relying on the wrong centre details.
If you are using the Spain route, confirm your consular jurisdiction before booking, as the BLS Washington guidance requests. Bring the documents and appointment confirmation required for your visa category, and check that the BLS address in L Street matches your booking details.
Use the supplied 15-minute driving estimate from Alexandria's centre as a reference, not a guarantee. Traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can alter the journey. Compare the confirmed appointment time with the exact address and leave sensible room for change.
TLScontact asks applicants to check current security instructions, VFS says destination arrangements can vary, and Italy requires an appointment. Reopen the relevant official page before travelling, then keep the confirmation and destination documents ready for the correct Washington office.
