根据《中华人民共和国出境入境管理法》第三十九条规定，外国人在中国境内旅馆住宿的，旅馆应当按照旅馆业治安管理的有关规定为其办理住宿登记，并向所在地公安机关报送外国人住宿登记信息；外国人在旅馆以外的其他住所居住或者住宿的，应当在入住后二十四小时内由本人或者留宿人，向居住地的公安机关办理登记。为进一步提升外国人在华生活便利度，方便在旅馆以外住宿的外国人办理住宿登记，结合前期试点情况，国家移民管理局决定自2026年9月21日起，在全国推广网上办理外国人旅馆以外住宿登记。

外国人本人或者留宿人可以通过国家移民管理局政务服务网站、“移民局12367”应用程序、“移民局12367”微信小程序或者支付宝小程序网上办理住宿登记。外国人前往居住地公安机关办理住宿登记的线下渠道继续保留。网上办理与到公安机关现场办理的住宿登记具有同等效力。

网上办理外国人旅馆以外住宿登记政策解读

一、网上办理住宿登记的适用范围是什么？

根据《中华人民共和国出境入境管理法》第三十九条规定，外国人在中国境内旅馆住宿的，旅馆应当按照旅馆业治安管理的有关规定为其办理住宿登记，并向所在地公安机关报送外国人住宿登记信息；外国人在旅馆以外的其他住所居住或者住宿的，应当在入住后24小时内由本人或者留宿人，向居住地的公安机关办理登记。为进一步提升外国人在华生活便利度，国家移民管理局决定在全国推广网上办理外国人旅馆以外住宿登记服务，外国人在旅馆以外的其他住所居住或者住宿的，可以在网上办理住宿登记，无需再前往公安机关现场办理住宿登记。网上办理与现场办理的住宿登记具有同等效力。

二、网上办理住宿登记有哪些渠道？

留宿人、住宿人可通过国家移民管理局政务服务平台（国家移民管理局政务服务网站、“移民局12367”应用程序、“移民局12367”微信小程序或者支付宝小程序），在“外国人服务”住宿登记模块，经注册认证后，按照提示分步骤办理。办理完成后，可点击“登记记录查询”查看住宿登记记录。

三、哪些人员可以网上办理住宿登记？

网上办理住宿登记的人员可以是住宿人，也可以是留宿人。考虑到留宿人对住所信息更加熟悉，为确保登记信息准确，首次由留宿人协助办理住宿登记。符合以下情形的，住宿人可以自行办理：一是曾通过国家移民管理局政务服务平台办理过住宿登记，需在同一住所再次办理住宿登记的；二是住在自有住所的。

留宿人可以为中国公民、外国人。

四、哪些情形可以简化办理住宿登记？

外国人在旅馆以外的其他住所居住或者住宿，入住后已按规定办理住宿登记，符合以下情形的，无需再次登记：一是在中国境内自有住所居住，境内外旅行后返回该自有住所的；二是持居留证件、永久居留证件在中国境内经常住所居住，在同一证件有效期内，境内外旅行后返回该经常住所的。

自有住所是指外国人或者其配偶在中国境内所有的住所。经常住所是指外国人在中国境内长期居住或者计划长期居住的住所，根据《外国人入境出境管理条例》第三十六条规定，“长期”是指在中国境内居留超过180日。

五、如果网上办理住宿登记时遇到疑问困难，可以通过哪些途径解决？

留宿人、住宿人可以进入国家移民管理局政务服务平台查看住宿登记办理页面的《网上办理住宿登记指南》，按照指南提示操作，或者直接拨打国家移民管理局12367服务热线进行咨询。也可以前往居住地公安机关出入境管理机构对外服务窗口或者属地公安派出所，寻求工作人员协助现场办理。

六、未按规定办理住宿登记需要承担法律责任吗？

根据《中华人民共和国出境入境管理法》第七十六条规定，外国人或者留宿人未按规定办理住宿登记的，给予警告，可以并处罚款。

The National Immigration Administration’s Announcement on the Nationwide Implementation of Online Accommodation Registration for Foreigners Residing or Staying in Domiciles Other Than Hotels

No. 7 of 2026

Pursuant to Article 39 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, where foreigners stay in hotels in China, the hotels shall register their accommodation in accordance with the regulations on the public security administration of the hotel industry, and submit foreigners’ accommodation registration information to the public security organs in the places where the hotels are located. For foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles other than hotels, they or the persons who accommodate them shall, within 24 hours after the foreigners’ arrival, go through the registration formalities with the public security organs in the places of residence. To further enhance the convenience for foreigners in China and facilitate accommodation registration for those residing or staying in domiciles other than hotels, the National Immigration Administration (NIA) has decided to roll out online accommodation registration services nationwide starting from September 21, 2026, based on the preliminary pilot program.

Foreigners or the persons who accommodate them may go through the registration formalities online through the NIA Government official website, the “NIA 12367” App, the “NIA 12367” WeChat mini program, or the Alipay mini program. The offline channel for accommodation registration at local public security organs will remain available. Online registration has the same legal effect as registration completed on site.

Hereby announced.

Policy Interpretation of the Nationwide Implementation of the Online Accommodation Registration Service for Foreigners Residing or Staying in Domiciles Other Than Hotels

I. What is the scope of application of online accommodation registration? 

According to Article 39 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, where foreigners stay in hotels in China, the hotels shall register their accommodation in accordance with the regulations on the public security administration of the hotel industry, and submit foreigners’ accommodation registration information to the public security organs in the places where the hotels are located. For foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles other than hotels, they or the persons who accommodate them shall, within 24 hours after the foreigners’ arrival, go through the registration formalities with the public security organs in the places of residence. To further enhance the convenience for foreigners in China, the NIA has rolled out the online accommodation registration service nationwide for foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles other than hotels. Foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles other than hotels may go through the registration formalities online without the need to visit the public security organs in person. Online registration has the same legal effect as on-site registration.

II. What channels are available for online accommodation registration?

Accommodation hosts or foreigners may access the NIA Government Service Platform , including the official website, the “NIA 12367” App, and “NIA 12367” WeChat mini program, or the Alipay mini program. After completing user registration and identity verification, users may follow the step-by-step prompts of the Accommodation Registration module under Foreigner Service. Upon completion, users may click “Registration Record Inquiry” to view their accommodation registration record.

III. Who may go through the registration formalities online?

Accommodation registration may be completed online either by the foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles or by the persons who accommodate them. Considering that accommodation hosts are generally more familiar with the information regarding the residence, the initial registration should be completed with their assistance to ensure the accuracy of the registration information. Under the following circumstances, the foreigners may go through the registration formalities independently: where the foreigners have previously gone through the registration formalities through the NIA Government Service Platform and need to register again at the same residence; where the foreigners reside at a self-owned residence.

The accommodation host may be either a Chinese citizen or a foreigner.

IV. Under what circumstances can the registration formalities be simplified?

For foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles other than hotels and have already gone through the registration formalities after arrival in accordance with the relevant regulations, re-registration is not required under the following circumstances: where foreigners reside at their own residences within China and return to the same residences after traveling within or outside China; where foreigners holding residence permits or permanent residences permits reside at habitual residence within China and return to the same residences after traveling within or outside China during the validity period of the same permit.

A self-owned residence refers to a residence owned by the foreigner or his/her spouse within China. A habitual residence refers to a residence where the foreigner resides or plans to reside in China for a long term. According to Article 36 of the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Administration of the Entry and Exit of Foreigners, “long term” refers to residing in China for a period exceeding 180 days.

V. What should users do if they encounter questions or difficulties when going through the registration formalities online?

Accommodation hosts and foreigners who reside or stay in domiciles may access the Guide to Online Accommodation Registration on the accommodation registration page of the NIA Government Service Platform and follow the instructions provided. They may also call the NIA 12367 service hotline for inquiries. Alternatively, they may visit the exit-entry administration service windows of the local public security organs or local police stations to seek assistance with on-site registration.

VI. Will there be legal liability for failure to go through the registration formalities as required?

According to Article 76 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, foreigners or their accommodation hosts who fail to process accommodation registration in accordance with the relevant regulations shall be given a warning and may also be subject to a fine.
