For a Portugal tourist visa appointment from Uxbridge, check the VFS Portugal Visa Application Centre in London at 66 Wilson Street, EC2A 2BT.
If VFS has no suitable date, Portugal Visa Alerts’ London appointment notifications can notify you when a matching date is detected. Search starts after confirmed payment. Email notifications are sent; SMS may be available where enabled, supported and possible, but carrier delivery is not guaranteed.
Check your residence route first
VFS says applicants must use the centre for their consular residence jurisdiction. The London residence list includes Greater London, but it is undated and contains historical or overlapping place names. Confirm that the list still applies to your residence before booking.
Applicants assigned to the Portuguese Consulate in London submit at the London VFS centre. Those assigned to the Manchester consulate use VFS centres in Manchester or Edinburgh. Do not choose a different centre just because it shows a date sooner. The London centre page and VFS residence list for London provide the relevant details.
You should apply in your country of legal residence. Portugal must be the sole or main destination of your Schengen trip, based on length of stay or purpose. If no main destination can be determined, the responsible state is the one whose external border you intend to enter first. UK applications normally require a valid passport or travel document and valid UK residence permission.
Turn an alert into a usable next step
Before searching, decide which dates you could attend. Allow for work or caring commitments and consider whether you can make the appointment at the London centre.
After confirmed payment, Portugal Visa Alerts searches for matching appointments and sends a notification when one is detected. It does not reserve or hold the appointment, and neither notification nor booking speed is guaranteed. You make the booking personally through the official provider. Keep the VFS appointment booking page ready, review the date and details, then complete the booking yourself.
Get the tourist application ready
The tourist category is for leisure travel when you arrange your own accommodation. UK short-stay C-visa holders are not generally eligible for this tourist route: acceptance is limited to essential travel and depends on the mission’s assessment. If your purpose differs, use VFS’s visa type guidance to check which category fits.
For a tourist application, VFS lists a completed and signed form, a personal statement explaining the trip’s purpose and itinerary if available, and a passport with at least two blank pages. Prepare travel and accommodation evidence, insurance and financial evidence as well. Check the what to bring guidance and the relevant Schengen checklist before relying on a previous application or saved document list.
VFS accepts a digital share code as UK residence evidence and says permission must remain valid for at least one month beyond your return date. Use the GOV.UK immigration status service if you need to view or prove your status. Refresh dated evidence, such as bank statements or an employer letter, as the appointment approaches.
For a trip involving several Schengen countries, travel evidence should cover journeys between them as well as travel to and from the Schengen area. Every applicant, including a child or infant, must attend in person with an appointment booked online. A minor must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Plan around the London centre
VFS lists submission hours as Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 13:00, and passport collection hours as Monday to Friday, 16:00 to 17:30. The London centre accepts credit or debit card; cash is accepted only there. Check the centre page for current details and closures before travelling.
Take the originals and copies required for your application, and check that your appointment date works with your arrangements.
Choose your next step
Confirm your residence route, check that the tourist category fits and organise the evidence for your trip. Then continue with VFS or use Portugal Visa Alerts’ paid London notification search. If a matching date is detected, assess it promptly and make your own booking through VFS.
