For applicants based in Plano, the supported visa appointment routes listed here lead to Washington DC. The closest listed centre is the German Embassy, with a supplied estimate of 1,329.4 driving miles and 1,433 minutes from the centre of Plano. TLScontact, BLS Spain and the Italian Visa Office are also listed in Washington. Availability changes, so use the Cancellation Finder as a route aid and check the relevant official instructions before booking.
Plano's nearest supported entry by distance is the German Embassy, Washington, at 4645 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007. Its supplied estimate is 1,329.4 driving miles and 1,433 minutes from Plano's named-location centre. The TLScontact centre and BLS Spain centre are each listed at 1,330.3 miles and 1,432 minutes, while the Embassy of Italy Visa Office is listed at 1,331.2 miles and 1,434 minutes. All are Washington DC entries.
The four supported destinations from Washington are Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Germany is linked to the German Embassy, France to TLScontact, Spain to BLS International and Italy to the Embassy or Consulate route. The supplied Germany guidance says to check that the mission covers your residence and visa category. Spain's centre is limited to the Spain route and asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction; TLScontact asks travellers to check their appointment confirmation and current security instructions.
Because every supported Plano route is assigned to Washington DC, the application city is consistent even though the centres have different addresses. Treat the 1,329.4 to 1,331.2 mile figures as driving estimates from Plano's named-location centre, not as a promise for your own journey. The supplied times are 1,432 to 1,434 minutes, and live traffic, closures or a different starting point can also change them.
Check the address in the confirmation rather than relying on the city name alone. The German Embassy is at 4645 Reservoir Road NW, the Italian Visa Office at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, TLScontact at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, and BLS Spain at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216. The Italian guidance also records that appointments are required and there is no on-site parking.
Choose the destination first, then read its official Washington guidance. Germany guidance calls for a residence and visa-category check, while Spain has a consular-jurisdiction condition. The route listing helps identify the relevant centre, but it does not establish that your application can be accepted there.
Keep the appointment confirmation accessible and compare it with the centre address before leaving Plano. TLScontact specifically asks applicants to check confirmation and current security instructions. For any route, use the destination's current official page because provider instructions and appointment availability can change.
Plan around the estimated journey, not just the appointment time. The listed trip from Plano to Washington is 1,432 to 1,434 minutes, with distances of 1,329.4 to 1,331.2 driving miles. Traffic, closures and your starting point may affect the result, so allow extra time.
