Temporary residence for 2 years before permanent registration
This regulation applies to subjects registering permanent residence in centrally-run cities.
The revised Law on Residence has just been passed by the National Assembly with a majority of votes in favor. Accordingly, from January 1, 2014, citizens who “have legal residence; in case of permanent residence registration in a district or town under a centrally-run city, must have a temporary residence period in that city of one year or more; in case of permanent residence registration in a district under a centrally-run city, must have a temporary residence period in that city of two years or more” are eligible to register permanent residence in a centrally-run city.
The Law also allows 6 types of subjects that the person with the household registration book agrees to have entered into his/her household registration book; Being mobilized or recruited to work at an agency or organization receiving salary from the state budget or under an indefinite-term contract and having legal residence; Previously registered for permanent residence in a centrally-run city, now returning to that city to live at his/her legal residence; In case of registering for permanent residence in a legal residence rented, borrowed, or rented from an individual or organization (with conditions attached).
Previously, in the discussion in groups and halls, many National Assembly deputies agreed with the regulation to increase the temporary residence period from 1 year to 2 years for cases of permanent residence registration in districts of centrally-run cities. Some opinions suggested keeping it as the current Law on Residence. Some opinions suggested removing the regulation on temporary residence registration period to avoid inconvenience for people.
The Standing Committee of the National Assembly finds that the current Law on Residence stipulates that citizens who have continuously resided in that city for one year or more are eligible to register for permanent residence. In reality, the provision of a one-year temporary residence condition is too short. On the other hand, the increasing rate of mechanical population growth in centrally run cities has caused an imbalance in population distribution and social security, creating great pressure on related social issues, leading to difficulties in managing social order, safety, infrastructure and public services. Therefore, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly finds that the provision of a two-year temporary residence period for permanent residence registration in a district of a centrally run city is appropriate. This regulation contributes to ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of people residing in these cities, slowing down the rate of mechanical population growth in the inner city of centrally-run cities, and reducing pressure on social issues and infrastructure for localities.
In addition, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly also found that, in addition to the content of this amendment, there are a number of contents that need to be further studied and evaluated to comprehensively amend the Law on Residence to meet the requirements set forth in the management of residence and ensure the right to residence of citizens. Specifically, such as comprehensive solutions on socio-economic issues, measures on population management, security, order and social safety, especially after the Prime Minister signed Decision No. 896/QD-TTg dated June 8, 2013 approving the overall project to simplify administrative procedures, citizen papers and databases related to population management for the period 2013-2020, including many issues related to the management of citizens' residence. However, to meet immediate requirements, this draft Law mainly focuses on a number of prominent and complicated issues such as spontaneous migration into the inner city of large cities, causing overload in infrastructure, social security, and management of social order and safety./.
