Residencia

I used to have a residencia card about 10 years ago and then went back to england. I have come back and now want the new green form. I went to the police station and they just said santa cruz. Is it classed as a new residencia because it has been 10 years since i had one.

You do not mention nationality if European then green paper obtainable from las Americas but new rules apply re medical cover, money etc.

I was actually asking on behalf of a married friend. Both English but when they went to the police station with -out of date-residencia card, they were told to go to Santa Cruz. Their spanish is not good which is why I thought I would find out the latex rules and regs from you.
