Registration of temporary residence

You are required to register your temporary residence at an administrative unit within three days of settling or being served a temporary residence permit. If you settle in an accommodation facility, your temporary residence must be registered by the proprietor. When registering your residence, you are required to attach a valid personal identity document containing a photograph and evidence that you have the right to stay at the address you are registering. Proof of ownership, a rental or an underlease agreement or the written consent of the owner or co-owners of a dwelling or the manager of an accommodation facility where the owner's consent need not be verified are deemed as evidence.

The registration of a temporary residence is valid for no longer than one year. The registration of a temporary residence must be renewed by either you or your landlord within eight days from the expiry of registration. The competent body shall renew the registration of a temporary residence for the application processing period to all those who submit, in a timely manner, a temporary residence permit extension application; in all other cases, the issue of a renewed temporary residence permit after being served a temporary residence permit means your residence registration must be renewed by yourself or by the proprietor of your residence.
