Brooklyn applicants have a set of listed New York centres for Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Spain and France applications. The nearest listed option is the VFS Global New York Visa Application Centre, estimated at 8 miles and 24 minutes from Brooklyn's centre. BLS International covers Germany and Spain at separate suites, while TLScontact covers France. Use the Cancellation Finder for email and SMS notifications on a selected route, then confirm the provider's current instructions before booking.
The nearest listed centre is the VFS Global New York Visa Application Centre at 128 East 32nd Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10016, linked to Netherlands and Portugal. BLS Germany is at 55 West 39th Street, 18th Floor, while BLS Spain is at the same street address in Suite 800. TLScontact New York is at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 705, and is linked to France. The supplied list is a selection, not every provider centre.
New York's listed routes are Netherlands and Portugal through VFS Global, Germany and Spain through BLS International, and France through TLScontact. The Germany and Spain centres each carry route-specific guidance asking applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction before booking. VFS says submission arrangements can vary by destination. For France, the TLScontact guidance says documents are currently returned by courier from this centre, so check the latest appointment instructions before relying on that arrangement.
The supplied journey figures are estimated driving distances and times from the centre of Brooklyn, using the OpenStreetMap OSRM source. For VFS Global New York, the nearest listed centre, the estimate is 8 miles and 24 minutes. Your starting point, live traffic and road closures can change the journey. Check the exact building, floor and suite for the selected route, since the New York addresses are spread across East 32nd, West 39th and West 57th Streets.
Match the route to the correct provider before travelling. VFS Global's destination-specific arrangements can differ, BLS Germany and BLS Spain are in different suites at 55 West 39th Street, and TLScontact asks applicants to check their confirmation and current security instructions. If France is selected, remember that the supplied TLScontact guidance currently refers to courier return from the centre, and verify the latest details before the appointment.
New York has two BLS listings at 55 West 39th Street, but they use different suites: Germany is on the 18th Floor and Spain is Suite 800. Check the route, provider and suite together before setting off.
For Netherlands or Portugal, use the VFS Global New York listing and review the destination-specific page. The supplied guidance says submission arrangements can vary, so do not assume that instructions for one destination apply to the other.
The listed 24-minute figure is an estimate from Brooklyn's centre, not a fixed arrival time. Check live traffic and road conditions, and allow extra planning time if your starting point differs from the location centre used for the estimate.
For a France appointment, check the TLScontact confirmation and current security instructions. The supplied centre guidance also says documents are currently returned by courier from this centre, so confirm the latest arrangement before you travel and before making plans around document collection.
