Hosting in Da Nang: 2026 Guide to Guest Registration & The New Unified Portal

For landlords and real estate investors in Central Vietnam, maintaining legal compliance is a cornerstone of protecting your rental yield and property reputation. As of May 21, 2026, Vietnam has officially launched the Unified Accommodation Notification System (Trang thông tin khai báo lưu trú).

Whether you own a luxury villa on the coastal strip or a high-rise apartment in the city center, the transition to tbltkbtt.bocongan.gov.vn is mandatory.

1. The New Digital Standard.

The Ministry of Public Security’s new portal replaces all previous provincial websites (including the old Da Nang immigration portal) and the ASM software.

•Unified Reporting: One platform for both Vietnamese citizens and foreign nationals.

•Smart Features: The system now supports automatic data extraction from passport and Chip-based ID photos, reducing manual entry errors.

•Real-time Compliance: Notifications are expected immediately upon check-in, specifically within 12 hours for foreign guests.

2. Understanding the “30-Day Rule”.

In Vietnamese real estate law (Law on Residence 2020), the duration of stay dictates your administrative path:

•Short-Term (< 30 Days): Classified as “Accommodation Notification” (Thông báo lưu trú). This is a digital check-in on the portal. It is required for all guests, including friends of residents.

•Long-Term (≥ 30 Days): Classified as “Temporary Residence Registration” (Đăng ký tạm trú). Any person staying 30+ days outside their permanent address must be registered in the national population database. This is vital for tenants on long-term leases.

3. Expert Insights from CVR.

To provide a deeper look at how these regulations impact owners, we spoke with Ms. Hoang Le, Senior Leasing Manager at CVR:

“The shift to a unified national portal is a significant step toward transparency in the Da Nang rental market. While the 12-hour notification rule remains strict, the digital integration allows landlords to protect their investment with greater ease. At CVR, we emphasize that proper registration isn’t just a legal chore—it is a vital part of risk management that ensures your property remains a premium, hassle-free asset for high-quality tenants.”

4. Why Compliance Matters for Your Investment.

Failure to register guests can result in fines ranging from VND 4,000,000 to VND 6,000,000 per violation (Decree 144/2021/ND-CP). For investors, consistent legal compliance ensures a smooth exit strategy and maintains the asset’s “clean” legal status for future resale.
