If some friends come and stay at my house, is it obligatory to make stay notification?
In the coming days, there will be 10 friends from the countryside come and stay at our house for a few days. Is it obligatory to make stay notification? Answer: Pursuant to Article 30 of the Law on Residence stipulating as follows: 1. When someone comes to stay with a household or at a healthcare establishment, tourist accommodation establishment or other types of lodging, a member of the household or the representative of the establishment shall notify the person’s stay with the registration authority; in case a person comes to stay in the place of residence of an absent individual or household, the person shall notify their stay with the registration authority. 2. Stay notification may be carried out in person, by phone or by electronic means or other means as per regulations from the Minister of Public Security. 3. A stay notification includes full name and identity card number or passport number of the staying person; stay reason; stay duration; and address of the hosting place. 4. Stay notification must be done before 11:00PM of the starting day of the stay period; if a person comes to stay after 11:00PM, their stay shall be notified before 08:00AM of the following day; biological siblings, children, spouse, parents and grandparents coming to stay multiple times only need to notify their stay once. 5. Stay notifications shall be recorded into stay receipt books. Therefore, when your friends stay at your house for a few days, it is obligatory to make stay notification at residence registration authority. You shall strictly follow above regulations.
