Answer

Temporary residence registration in Vietnam ? 

Temporary residence registration means that citizens register their places of temporary residence with competent state agencies which carry out the temporary residence registration procedures and grant temporary residence books to them.

Persons who are living, working, laboring or studying at a place in a commune, ward or township but are not entitled for permanent residence registration in that locality shall, within thirty days after their arrival, register their temporary residence at the commune/ward/township police offices.

Commune/ward/township police chiefs shall, within three working days after receiving all papers specified in Clause 3 of this Article, grant temporary residence books made according to a form set by the Ministry of Public Security. 

Temporary residence books granted to households or individuals having registered their temporary residence are valid for determination of citizens’ temporary residence places for a maximum period of 24 months.

Thirty days before the expiration of their temporary residence term, citizens shall carry out extension procedures at police offices that have granted temporary residence books.

For persons who have registered their temporary residence but do not live, work, labor or study for six months or more in the localities where they have registered their temporary residence, the agencies which have granted the temporary residence books shall delete such persons' names from the temporary residence registers (Clauses 1, 2,4 and 5, Artilcle 30, Law on Residence No. 03/VBHN-VPQH, dated July 11, 2013)./.
