Staten Island applicants using the supplied New York options can follow routes for the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Spain and France. The nearest listed centre is the VFS Global New York Visa Application Centre on East 32nd Street, while other destinations use BLS International or TLScontact locations in New York. This guide sets out the supported destinations, estimated journey information and practical checks to make before relying on an appointment update.
The nearest listed option is VFS Global New York Visa Application Centre, 128 East 32nd Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10016. Its Netherlands and Portugal route links are both listed through VFS Global. The supplied driving estimate from the centre of Staten Island is 20.8 miles, with a 44-minute driving time, although traffic, road closures and your exact starting point can change it on the day.
BLS International provides the listed Germany centre at 55 West 39th Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10018, and the Spain centre at the same street address in Suite 800. TLScontact handles the listed France option at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 705, New York, NY 10019. Check each destination page because submission arrangements and jurisdiction requirements can differ; confirm the details before choosing a date or travelling.
All four listed centres are in New York, but they use different providers and addresses, so match the destination to the correct building before setting out. The 20.8-mile and 44-minute figures belong only to the VFS Global centre and are estimates from Staten Island's named centre. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point may make the journey longer or shorter than expected on the day.
Before booking, open the official page for the chosen destination and compare its instructions with your appointment details. VFS Global's guidance says destination-specific arrangements can vary, while the BLS centre guidance ties Germany and Spain to their respective routes. TLScontact states that documents are currently returned by courier from its New York centre, so check its latest appointment instructions before making your journey to New York.
Select the route before checking the address. Netherlands and Portugal use the VFS Global centre, Germany and Spain use separate BLS International route links, and France uses TLScontact. A destination page check helps prevent arriving at the wrong New York location.
Write down the provider name, street address, floor or suite and postcode shown for your destination. The Germany and Spain BLS centres share 55 West 39th Street but use different floors or suites, so do not rely on the street address alone.
The listed New York journey figures are estimates from Staten Island's named centre. Check traffic and road closures before leaving, and allow extra flexibility because live traffic, closures and your actual starting point can affect the journey.
Save the appointment confirmation and review the current provider page before travelling. Address details differ between VFS Global, BLS International and TLScontact, while submission arrangements can change. Having the selected destination and latest instructions together makes the appointment-day check more straightforward.
