In accordance with the Decree No. 34/2014/ND-CP dated April 29, 2014 on promulgating the Regulation on land border areas of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Vietnamese citizens (except border inhabitants) and foreigners entering land border areas and staying overnight shall register their stay with local commune-level public security offices in accordance with law. Overnight stay in the border belt must be notified in writing to local border-guard posts.

At the same time, beside persons allowed to reside in land border areas such as border inhabitants; persons who have permits of competent public security agencies for residence in land border areas; and officers, professional army men, defense officials, defense workers and employees, non-commissioned officers, soldiers of the People’s Army; officers, workers, employees and professional and technical non-commissioned officers of the People’s Public Security Force whose units are stationed in land border areas, this Decree also point out clearly on persons not allowed to reside in land border areas such as persons banned from residing in land border areas under decisions of competent agencies, persons not yet permitted to exit or persons suspended from exit; persons banned from traveling outside their places of residence by procedure-conducting agencies; or persons sentenced to imprisonment, against whom judgment execution decisions are not yet issued, serving suspended sentences; or permitted to postpone or suspend the serving of imprisonment sentences; persons under probation.

Besides, Vietnamese citizens who enter land border areas must have people’s identity cards or other personal identification papers provided by law. For foreigners who permanently or temporarily reside in Vietnam and enter land border areas must have permits of provincial-level Public Security Departments of localities where they permanently or temporarily reside or of the land border provinces which they enter.

This Decree takes effect on June 15, 2014, and replaces the Government’s Decree No. 34/2000/ND-CP of August 18, 2000.
