The closest listed centre is VFS Global Washington at 1025 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005, recorded at 0.7 miles and 2 minutes from the centre of Washington DC. It is linked to Netherlands and Portugal. TLScontact at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036, and BLS Spain at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216, Washington, DC 20036, are both listed at 1.2 miles and 3 minutes; they are linked to France and Spain respectively. The Embassy of Italy Visa Office at 3000 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008, is 2.7 miles and 7 minutes away for Italy.
The route records show a USD 34.99 base price and 30-day duration for each of the five listed destinations. VFS Global handles Netherlands and Portugal, TLScontact handles France, BLS International handles Spain, and the Embassy or Consulate route covers Italy. The guidance is destination-specific: VFS says arrangements can vary, TLScontact asks applicants to check the confirmation and current security instructions, BLS Spain asks applicants to confirm consular jurisdiction before booking, and Italy requires appointments and has no on-site parking at the listed office.
The recorded driving estimates are short, but they are still calculated from the centre of the named location rather than from every applicant's door. The VFS Vermont Avenue centre is listed at 0.7 miles and 2 minutes. TLScontact on L Street and BLS Spain on L Street are each 1.2 miles and 3 minutes, while the Italian Visa Office on Whitehaven Street is 2.7 miles and 7 minutes. Live traffic, road closures and your actual starting point can alter the journey, so use the figures as a baseline.
Address precision matters because two of the listed routes share L Street but use different providers and suites. Netherlands and Portugal go to VFS on Vermont Avenue, France to TLScontact at 1899 L Street, Spain to BLS at 1660 L Street, and Italy to the Whitehaven Street office. Check the official confirmation and current instructions for the chosen destination before travelling. For Italy, remember that appointments are required and on-site parking is not provided at the listed office.
The L Street centres are close in the supplied estimates but are separate locations: TLScontact is at 1899 L Street NW, Suite 500, while BLS Spain is at 1660 L Street NW, Second Floor, Suite 216. Match the suite to your destination before leaving.
The Vermont Avenue VFS centre is linked to both Netherlands and Portugal. Open the destination-specific VFS guidance for the route you booked because the supplied centre note says submission arrangements can vary, so check it before travelling there.
The Embassy of Italy Visa Office requires appointments, and its supplied guidance says there is no on-site parking. Confirm the appointment details and current embassy instructions in advance, then plan how you will reach 3000 Whitehaven Street NW.
Even a short recorded journey can change with live traffic, road closures or a different starting point. The supplied figures range from 0.7 miles and 2 minutes to 2.7 miles and 7 minutes, so leave enough personal margin for your own route.
