Prohibition of falsifying conditions for permanent residence registration

The draft Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Residence strictly prohibits the act of falsifying conditions for permanent residence registration or allowing others to register at one's residence but this person does not actually reside at that residence or for personal gain.

Discussing this draft law on the afternoon of March 21, some opinions of the National Assembly Standing Committee and the examining body, the Law Committee, agreed with the addition of the prohibition of the above two acts because they believed that these were common acts that some people often took advantage of to register for permanent residence; the addition of these two acts serves as a legal basis for handling illegal acts regarding residence.

However, there are some opinions that the content of the regulations on these two prohibited acts is still unclear, for example, what is the content of falsifying this condition to register for permanent residence? What is allowing others to register at one's residence for profit?

It is argued that in addition to the above-mentioned acts, there are many other acts of forgery such as: forging marriages, forging relatives, forging recruitment documents... to register for permanent residence. Therefore, the National Assembly Standing Committee proposed to review the provisions on prohibited acts in the draft Law to ensure the feasibility and comprehensiveness of these provisions in practice.

Regarding the regulation “The place of permanent residence registration must be the place of temporary residence”, the discussion opinions said that this regulation could lead to restrictions on people’s rights. If implemented, a person who rents a house and registers temporary residence in one district but then buys a house in another district must still register temporary residence, then has the right to register permanent residence in the house he/she just bought.

On the other hand, the provisions in the draft Law easily lead to the understanding that in order to register for permanent residence, the temporary residence period at a place of residence must be 2 years or more. Such a provision is inappropriate, because staying, borrowing or renting a house is often unstable, depending on civil contracts on the term of renting, borrowing, staying, on the price of the house as well as depending on working, working and living conditions.

Thus, if the regulation only allows permanent residence registration at the place of temporary residence, there is a possibility that many people, although having temporarily resided in the inner city of a centrally-run city for many years, still do not meet the conditions to register permanent residence in the inner city of that city because they have had to change residence many times without having a place of temporary residence for up to 2 years.

Therefore, the opinions of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly as well as the Law Committee recommend removing this provision.
