Are you traveling to or living in Vietnam? New overnight stay rules mean an undeclared address can cost you millions of dong or wreck your Vietnam visa!
Here is the real truth behind Vietnam’s residence law updates and what you MUST do before sleeping anywhere tonight.
Under Law No. 118 (amending Article 30 of Vietnam's Law on Residence), local authorities must be notified whenever anyone stays overnight at a private apartment, Airbnb, hotel, or even a vehicle. But does this mean hookups are banned, booty calls are illegal, sleeping at a friend’s place is illegal, or your Airbnb host is setting you up for a massive fine?
In this video, Attorney Ken Duong breaks down Vietnam’s latest temporary residence and overnight stay rules, explains the strict 11:00 PM deadline, and debunks the wildest expat group rumors about Vietnamese law.
Watch until the end to find out what this could mean for foreigners living in or traveling to Vietnam.
