It is a great idea, however, the automatic renewal does not include students. For example, I am a student at the University of Aveiro and I am now sticking in Jordan (my country) and I have difficulty to renew my card because the appointment is not working and the automatic renewal is not for students. We don't know what we should do especially when you have selfish people of students who does not want to provide you with their experience. I have sent two emails to the SEF but without answering. It is trouble situation and many countries have strict rules about travelling for example my country closed the airport. They should find a solution for international students outside of European Union.
Best regards,
