Xuan Huong, the town centre
This is where a foreigner in Da Lat goes for anything involving their stay: extending a visa, applying for a temporary residence card, dealing with a lost passport or a registration problem. Applications are handed in and documents collected at the province's one-stop administrative centre at 19 Tran Phu, in the middle of town — you do not need to go anywhere else for ordinary matters.
Police registration (tam tru) nên đi
Ward police · lamdong.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn
Every foreigner's address must be declared within 12 hours of arrival. It is your landlord's or hotel's legal duty, not yours — but it is your problem if they skip it.
Cần biết trước. On your first day in a new rental, ask your landlord for proof they filed it and photograph it. Undeclared residence causes problems later at extension or residence-card stage.
Cẩn thận. Since 15 Dec 2025 the fines on the accommodation provider run from 3M to 25M₫. Since May 2026 filing goes through a unified national platform. District-level police no longer exist — go to ward police.
If the landlord ignores the filing, it is you the police come to. They turn up at the rented place — sometimes at five in the morning — and wait there until the owner appears.
Do not pass the place on to friends without the owner’s agreement, which means without registering the new residents with the police. Somebody will complain, the police will come and move them out, and your relationship with the owner will most likely end there.
