Washington DC is the application city shown for all five routes supplied for Raleigh. The VFS Global Washington Visa Application Centre at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, is linked to the Netherlands and Portugal routes. The BLS Spain Visa Application Centre is at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, and is linked only to Spain.

Route selection should follow the destination and the provider shown in the supplied list, rather than the centre name alone. Netherlands and Portugal use VFS Global, Spain uses BLS International, France uses TLScontact, and Germany uses the Embassy or Consulate route. VFS advises checking the destination-specific page because submission arrangements can vary. For Spain, confirm consular jurisdiction. For Germany, confirm the mission covers your place of residence and visa category before booking an appointment at that mission.
The supplied travel figures are driving estimates from the centre of Raleigh to the named Washington DC centres, not a promise of the journey you will experience. The listed times are 316, 317, 318, and 321 minutes, while live traffic, road closures, and your actual starting point can change the trip. Treat the centre-card figures as planning references, allow sensible flexibility, and recheck conditions before setting out for your planned appointment at the relevant Washington DC centre.
Each Washington DC location has a specific official page, and the centre guidance should be part of your preparation. VFS asks applicants to check the destination-specific page; BLS links this address only to Spain; TLScontact says to check the appointment confirmation and current security instructions; and the German guidance asks you to confirm that the mission covers your place of residence and visa category. Use the relevant official page for the route you intend to book, then keep the confirmation available for travel.
Check the destination, provider or mission, and official booking page before selecting a centre. The VFS address supports the Netherlands and Portugal routes, while BLS, TLScontact, and the German Embassy entries are tied to Spain, France, and Germany respectively.
Keep your appointment confirmation and review the current security instructions before travelling to the TLScontact centre. For each route, check the relevant current page because VFS submission arrangements can vary and jurisdiction guidance matters too.
Compare your intended destination with the route list before looking at dates. The supported choices listed for Raleigh are Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany, each linked to a Washington DC booking path and named provider or mission.
Bring the documents and materials required by the destination's official instructions, and check the booking confirmation for any centre-specific directions. Do not rely on this guide alone for submission arrangements, jurisdiction, or TLScontact security instructions on appointment day.
