Living in Arona: what to know about your procedures

Arona, with Los Cristianos and much of the southern resort area, belongs to the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Its Immigration Office is in the capital, at the other end of the island: the round trip is half a day on the motorway. The padrón is done at Arona town hall. By preparing your file online, you only go up to Santa Cruz when the law requires you to be present.

Tourism shapes Arona's profile: hotel and restaurant staff from many countries, European residents and professionals working remotely for companies abroad. Residence and work permits as an employee, the EU citizen registration certificate, renewals and questions about international remote work are all common.
