What are the conditions for registration of permanent residence in Hanoi?
I am going through the procedure to register permanent residence in Hanoi. I have a house with a Certificate of land use rights in Dong Da district. Is that enough conditions? Is it mandatory to register temporary residence before registering permanent residence?
