Hi there, my residency permit expires in November 19th and I am still unable to apply for automatic renewal of my residence, as well I am not able to book an appointment for that either. all I keep getting is "De momento, n茫o existe disponibilidade nos postos de atendimento para o servi莽o selecionado." when I try to book an appointment; and this is what I get when I try for automatic renewal

"O t铆tulo de resid锚ncia que possui n茫o permite a utiliza莽茫o da funcionalidade 鈥渞enova莽茫o autom谩tica鈥�. Para mais informa莽玫es, o Centro de Contacto do SEF est谩 ao seu dispor, todos os dias 煤teis, das 8:00 脿s 20:00 atrav茅s dos n煤meros 鈥� 808 202 653 (rede fixa) ou 808 962 690 (rede m贸vel)."

I will need to travel in and out of Portugal often and I am worried if my residency expires while I am outside and I do not have an appointment, then I might not be able to get back to Portugal.

Can you please advise me on what to do? what would be the way to get to SEF? I have been calling for days but with no help at all. I tried their email and same thing
