Hello, my friend is on drug user list of the commune, but recently his house has moved to another place. So please let me know if he has moved to another place, can he be removed from the drug user list? Please advise.
If I change my place of residence, will I be removed from the drug user list in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Article 26 of the Law on Prevention and Control of Narcotic Substances 2021, formulation of drug user list is as follows:
1. Commune-level police shall assist the People's Committee at the same level in formulating a list of drug users living in the commune.
2. When a drug user changes their place of residence, the police of the commune where their old place of residence is located shall notify the police of the commune where the new place of residence is located within 05 working days from the date on which the drug user moves to the new place to have the drug user added to the drug user list and managed.
3. Commune-level police shall assist the People's Committee at the same level in removing the following cases from the drug user list:
a) Drug users who do not use a narcotic substance illegally during the management period provided for in Clause 2 Article 23 of this Law;
b) Drug users who are no longer subject to drug user management according to regulations in Clause 5 Article 23 of this Law;
