In the context of accelerating the national digital transformation and the requirement to enhance the effectiveness of social governance while reorganizing local government under the two-tier model from July 1, 2025, state management of residence plays a pivotal role in ensuring security and public order, improving the quality of public service delivery, and supporting development policy formulation. Residence management can only achieve real effectiveness when it is organized in a synchronized, modern manner, based on a unified digital data platform and close coordination across different levels and sectors. This constitutes an essential condition for effectively controlling population mobility, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of state management, and building a transparent, professional administration oriented toward sustainable development. On this basis, the article analyzes the current situation and proposes solutions to strengthen the state management of residence in Vietnam.
