That takes you to Exchanges of Foreign Permit and asks you to select the country.
United Kingdom is on that list and has been since yesterday.between Portugal and Dominican Republic.
Then you opt for Face to Face then, on the next page, select appointment request.
Annoyingly, UK does not come up on that page. It tells you you have to select Office Formalities and then complete the next page.
I have contacted DGT to find out why it has to be done this way and not just select UK. If they reply I'll post the answer.
I know it's a new system and they may not have got around to it yet but you'd think they'd have been ready for it.
It also says that, if you are over 65, you can just turn up at the office without a prior appointment and they'll do it for you. Whether that works or not is down to Spanish bureaucracy.
Thank you Gillian
