What is time limit for change registration of land in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Point a, Clause 4, Clause 6, Article 95 of the 2013 Land Law, which regulates registration of land, houses and other land-attached assets as follows:

4. Change registration is conducted in the cases in which the certificates have been granted or change occurs after the first registration as follows:

a/ The land user or the owner of land-attached assets exercises the right to exchange, transfer, lease, sublease, inherit, donate land use rights or land-attached assets; mortgage or contribute as capital land use rights or land-attached assets;

...

6. For the cases of change registration specified at Points a, b, h, i, k and 1, Clause 4 of this Article, land users shall perform the procedures for change registration within 30 days from the date of the change. In case of inheritance, this period is calculated from the date the inherited land use rights are divided.

After 30 days from the date of change, failure to register land at a competent state agency is a violation of law in Vietnam. Therefore, you have passed the deadline for registration of land changes.
