Vietnam Residence Law and Household Registration Reform

Vietnam's 2020 Residence Law and related reforms shifted residence management away from paper household registration books toward electronic residence data and national population databases. Decree No. 154/2024/ND-CP, effective from January 2025, replaced the previous implementing decree and updated procedures for registering and confirming residence electronically.

Why it matters: Residence registration is a core governance layer in the displacement continuum. Reform can improve portability, but digitalization does not automatically solve exclusion if service access remains tied to local registration. The continued issuance of updated implementing decrees five years after the paper-book abolition suggests the transition to a fully portable, database-driven residence system is still an administrative work in progress rather than a completed reform.
