Question

How easy is it to get a residencia in lanzarote?

Answer 1

Don't need to apply for residencia as of 28th March 2007

Answer 2

The residencia has now been abolished, so you don't need one.

Answer 3

If you're an EU citizen it should be fairly easy, same as the rest of Spain...

Answer 4

Have a look at www.roundtownnews.com for the canaries section.  Each week there is information from the Consul.  This issue states Royal Decree 240/2007 approved on 16th Feb and effective from 28th March - Residencias will no longer be issued to EU citizens.  You now just register with your local Oficina de Extranjeros or at a designated police station.  You will be issued a certificate stating name, address, nationality and id number and date of registration. Hope that helps.
