The supplied figures range from 1,522.2 to 1,524 miles and 1,634 to 1,636 minutes, with the German Embassy having the shortest mileage but BLS and TLScontact showing the shortest listed time.

Route suitability matters as much as distance. Germany's guidance asks about residence and visa category coverage; Spain's centre guidance asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction; France asks applicants to check the appointment confirmation and current security instructions; and Italy requires appointments and has no on-site parking. Confirm the applicable mission before committing to such a lengthy trip from Austin, given the distances in this catalogue.
Start with the jurisdiction check, not the journey plan. Germany requires confirmation that the mission covers your residence and visa category, while Spain requires a consular-jurisdiction check. Keep the relevant official confirmation and current mission instructions accessible before travelling from Austin.
Match the destination to its Washington address: Germany is at Reservoir Road, Spain at BLS on L Street, France at TLScontact on L Street, and Italy at Whitehaven Street. Two L Street centres are different organisations, so check centre name, suite and postcode in the confirmation.
Italy's guidance says there is no on-site parking, so check arrangements before travelling. For France, read the current security instructions. For every destination, carry the appointment confirmation and required documents, and leave substantial margin for Austin's long journey.
