This is a new point in the 2020 Residence Law. Article 23 stipulates that 5 places are not allowed to register new permanent residence, including: Places located in prohibited locations, prohibited construction areas or encroaching on national defense protection corridors, transportation
Temporary residence at these locations is also prohibited.
Lawyer Nguyen Thi Thuy said that the old Residence Law did not have this regulation.
From July 1, people with red books will be able to immediately register for permanent residence.
Register for permanent residence immediately after buying the house
Clause 1, Article 20 of the Law on Residence stipulates that citizens who have a legal residence under their ownership may register for permanent residence at that legal residence.
The new law also removes the temporary residence period condition.
To complete the procedure, buyers only need to prepare a declaration to change residence information and papers and documents proving home ownership.
Whether or not the old homeowner has the right to keep their household registration
According to Point h, Clause 1, Article 22, a person who has registered permanent residence at the residence under his/her ownership but has transferred ownership of the residence to another person and has not received consent from the new owner to keep his/her permanent residence registration at the residence.
Therefore, the home buyer (new owner) will have the right to agree or not to let the old homeowner keep the permanent residence registration at the house they bought.
