Finally a new app schedule from SEF - BUT.....
 

Yesterday we got the long awaited email notices from sef that we could make a new appointment (having cancelled the last one in Beja) and like last time the schedule is only open for a period of 11 days (this time from 23 Jan-2nd Feb). So far so good but when accessing the schedule the only dates offered for an appointment in January. This means we can only make the appointment for the next 5 days (they are closed at weekends) and we actually have a pretty full schedule of other appointments at the moment.
Has anyone else experienced this? - is it the usual crappy programming?

The only positive thing is that this time we have a choice of Beja (3hrs) or Santarem (2hrs) this time which means less travelling time

I should've said I am unable to change the selection from January - the month popup only shows January and the change month arrows on the calendar do nothing - I've just written to sef about it :lol::lol:

Thanks for the parking tip toots sweet
Sunseeker1st - what a pain for your friend, hopefully it wasn't a long trip for him/her - we'll go bananas if we can't get done when we finally get an appointment

Think it is about an hour for him going from Silves. It was 45 minutes each way when this happened to me.

Did get a reply to my email to sef but as usual it didn't answer or address my question. We will wait until 1st Feb and see if any dates other than the 2nd Feb are offered.
