The National Assembly has passed the Law amending 10 laws on security and order, effective from July 1, 2026. Among the amended laws is the Law on Residence.
The Law has amended and supplemented Article 20 on conditions for permanent residence registration.
Accordingly, children under 6 years old who are allowed to register for permanent residence at a legal place of residence are not under their ownership when living with their father, mother, or guardian without the consent of the household owner and the legal owner of that place of residence.
