New Residency Penalties Effective September 15, 2026
Starting September 15, 2026, new penalties will be imposed on lodging facilities that fail to report

Beginning on November 11, 2026, Vietnam will implement a new law that imposes significant fines for individuals and organizations that fail to verify data when legally requested by authorized entities. According to the new regulation, individuals could face fines ranging from 20 million to 40 million VND, while organizations could incur penalties of 40 million to 80 million VND.
The legal framework is outlined in Decree 363/2026/ND-CP, which specifies the penalties for administrative violations in the field of data management. This decree aims to enhance the accountability of data handling practices across various sectors.
Specifically, the law addresses two main violations: failing to perform data verification when legally required and conducting data verification without proper authorization. The penalties reflect the importance of maintaining accurate and verified data in administrative processes, which is crucial for effective governance and public trust.
As data management becomes increasingly critical in the digital age, the Vietnamese government is taking steps to ensure compliance and uphold data integrity. Stakeholders are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new regulations to avoid potential fines and ensure adherence to legal requirements.
For further information, individuals and organizations can consult legal advisors or refer to the official legal texts provided by the government.
