According to the Government's Proposal, the basic content of the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Residence supplements regulations on prohibited acts; conditions for permanent residence registration in centrally-run cities; on changing the place of permanent residence registration in case of legal relocation; on temporary residence registration; on residence and notification of residence.
Regarding the conditions for permanent residence registration in a centrally-run city, the draft law supplements the regulation to increase the temporary residence period from 1 to 2 years and stipulates that the City Council shall stipulate the conditions for ensuring the average accommodation area for cases of permanent residence registration in rented, borrowed or shared accommodation in a centrally-run city. The place of permanent residence registration must be the place of temporary residence...
The draft law also amends and supplements the content on temporary residence registration in the direction of stipulating that temporary residence books are issued to households or individuals who have registered for temporary residence, are valid to determine the temporary residence of citizens and are valid for 12 months. Before the expiration of the temporary residence period of 15 days, citizens must go to the police station that issued the temporary residence book to complete the extension procedure, instead of the regulation in the current Law on Residence stipulating that temporary residence books do not have a specified duration.
The majority of delegates agreed with the Government's Proposal on the necessity of promulgating a draft law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Residence in order to perfect the legal basis, create more favorable conditions for citizens in residence, ensure harmony of rights and legitimate interests of all individuals and organizations; at the same time, strengthen state management, contribute to maintaining national security, ensuring social order and safety in the new situation.
However, many delegates said that the Law on Residence is an important law, so the provisions of the draft Law need to create more favorable conditions for citizens in residence, ensure the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, and overcome difficulties and obstacles in the work of registration and management of residence in the current period.
Some delegates said that the provisions in the new draft law only create more favorable conditions for the state when they tighten the regulations on permanent residence; many regulations are unreasonable, contradict the regulations on citizens' right to freedom of residence, and are not in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution on ensuring human rights and civil rights...
Delegates suggested that the drafting committee should consider and study the provisions of the draft law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Residence to ensure legality and consistency with current laws; create conditions for effective state management of residence while still ensuring citizens' right to freedom of residence.../.
