Hartford applicants using the supported catalogue have four listed visa routes, all using a listed application location in New York: Italy, France, Germany and Spain. The listed locations are the Consulate General of Italy, a TLScontact centre, and two BLS International centres. Journey figures are driving estimates from the centre of Hartford, not fixed travel times, and conditions can change. Use this guide to compare the supported routes, check jurisdiction requirements, prepare for an appointment, and follow current instructions from the relevant official provider.
New York is the application city for every route shown on this Hartford page. The Italy appointment location is the Consulate General of Italy at 690 Park Avenue, with guidance directing applicants to the East 69th Street entrance and stating that attendance is by appointment. France uses TLScontact at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 705. Germany and Spain use separate BLS International locations at 55 West 39th Street, with Germany on the 18th Floor and Spain in Suite 800. Check the official page for your route before travelling.
Each supported route has a distinct official booking channel and centre record. Italy is linked to the Italian consular booking page; France is linked to TLScontact; Germany and Spain are linked to their respective BLS International pages. The supplied route records list a base price of USD 34.99 and a 30-day duration for each option. Treat those details as route information, then confirm current appointment instructions, jurisdiction and document requirements on the relevant official website before making plans.
The supplied centre estimates place the New York locations at roughly 152 to 155 minutes of driving from the centre of Hartford, with the Italy location at the shorter end and the Germany and Spain locations at the longer end. These figures come from OpenStreetMap OSRM calculations. They are estimates rather than a promise of journey time, so check live traffic, road closures and your own starting point before choosing an appointment or arranging your travel.
Allow for the appointment itself as well as the journey, and avoid building a plan around the estimated minutes alone. The Italy guidance specifies the East 69th Street entrance. For France, the centre guidance says the provider currently returns documents by courier from that centre, so read the latest TLScontact instructions. The Germany and Spain centre records each require a jurisdiction check before booking. Keep the official route page available and recheck details because availability and instructions can change.
Match your destination with the correct listed route before booking. Germany and Spain have separate BLS International centre records and each guidance note calls for a consular jurisdiction check. Use the official route page for the latest route and appointment instructions.
For the Italian consular appointment, use the East 69th Street entrance at 690 Park Avenue as stated in the official guidance. Check the appointment confirmation and current consular page before setting out, since the entrance instruction applies to that listed Italy location.
The supplied figures are driving estimates from the centre of Hartford. Check live traffic and road closures, and allow time beyond the stated estimate. Your starting point can alter the journey, so do not treat the listed minutes as a fixed arrival or departure plan.
Bring the information and documents requested by the relevant official instructions, rather than relying on a general checklist. France's centre guidance says the provider currently returns documents by courier. For Germany and Spain, confirm jurisdiction before booking and recheck route details.
