In the same way, the Citizen Participation Area serves as a link with the Immigration Unit of the Insular Directorate of the General State Administration on the Island,where the applicant citizen can access the rest of the procedures related to residence and work permits.
Paula Corujo highlights that, according to information provided by the Cabildo’s Data Center, 155,812 foreigners of different nationalities, community and non-community, have resided on the island of Lanzarote in 2020, of which 27,618 are not Spanish-speaking .
