Hi everyone

I'm trying to book an appointment with extranjeria via the normal website (which up until a few weeks ago seemed to be working fine). However, now when I click on 'acceder al procedimiento', the next page never loads.

I've tried on various devices, at different times of day, etc, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas for how to get around it?

Is there another way of booking an appointment (in my case, in Palma, Mallorca)?

Thanks very much in advance for any advice! :)

The page seems to load fine for me in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. (https://icp.administracionelectronica.gob.es/icpplus/index.html) Have you tried using mobile data instead of wifi?
Alternatively, if you live reasonably close to the office, you might be able to go in person and talk to the funcionario in the reception area, I believe they still do help people to reserve a cita previa in person. You could also try calling the general administration access point number, 060, on the telephone - I've never done this and have no idea how useful it is.

I have been checking available dates on cita previa web site and it was working fine for 1 week then never loads again using the same device: a roaming German phone in Spain. I normally use the Google vpn so I turned it off and still can't reach the site. I think they banned when you are not using Spain IP because I was able to load again the site using the same device if I joined a local wifi from a restaurant for example. I'll try a Spain VPN provider and let you know..
