Your first 24 hours: accommodation registration

Know who is responsible

The National Immigration Administration explains that hotels register foreign guests. For a home, rental or other non-hotel stay, the foreign national or host should complete accommodation registration with the local public security authority within 24 hours of arrival.

An online service for non-hotel accommodation registration began as a regional pilot in March 2026. Check whether online handling is available where you are staying; otherwise use the local process.

Keep the record accessible

Use accurate passport, address and arrival information and keep the resulting record available. If you change accommodation, ask the local authority or call 12367 to confirm whether a new registration is required for your situation.

Check the type of accommodation

If you stay in a hotel, ask for the registration confirmation. If you stay in a home, rental or other non-hotel place, agree with your host who will complete registration and where. Online handling is available only where the local service supports it.

Save the result

Use the address and passport details that match your actual stay. Keep the registration record accessible. When moving to a new address, ask the local authority whether a fresh registration is required.
