Based on Point c Clause 2 Article 20 of the Law on Residence 2020, the conditions for registering permanent residence are stipulated as follows:
Citizens may register permanent residence at lawful places of residence that they do not own if the household head and the owner of the lawful place of residence agree in the following cases:
+ Minors are allowed by their parents or guardians or in the absence of parents to stay with their paternal great-grandparents, maternal great-grandparents, paternal grandparents, maternal grandparents, brothers, sisters, paternal uncles, maternal uncles, paternal aunts, maternal aunts, or guardians; minors stay with their guardians.
