Starting July 1, 2026, Hanoi will implement new regulations on compensation, support, and resettlement regarding State land reclamation under Resolution No. 36/2026/NQ-HDND. This policy provides more detailed regulations on compensation for technical infrastructure and land-attached assets, as well as eligibility criteria for resettlement support.

For technical or social infrastructure projects that are currently in use and must be relocated to facilitate land reclamation, the compensation amount is determined based on the new construction value of an infrastructure project with equivalent technical standards.
The entity currently managing or operating the infrastructure is responsible for organizing the new construction or relocation. In cases where the infrastructure is no longer in use according to regulations, it will not be eligible for compensation.
In certain instances, if the asset-owning entity requests replacement with a new facility instead of receiving cash compensation, the competent authority will consider using the compensation funds to invest in, construct, and hand over the facility in accordance with the law.
The Resolution also outlines support policies for certain construction works that do not fully meet legality requirements but were built on land eligible for compensation and did not violate land laws within the legally specified timeframe.
The support level is determined at 20% of the standard compensation value, applicable within an area not exceeding the residential land allocation quota prescribed by the local authority.
For households and individuals using State-owned housing who have not yet been granted a Land Use Rights Certificate, but have a private-use premises and meet the conditions set forth in the Resolution, the support policy consists of two main points:
In addition to the aforementioned cases, households, individuals, or people of Vietnamese origin residing abroad who are using residential land and qualify for compensation upon State land reclamation may also be allocated residential land or permitted to purchase resettlement housing.
This policy applies to specific cases, such as:
The entire residential land lot is reclaimed, and the remaining house or land area fails to meet the minimum size required for land subdivision.
A portion of the residential land is reclaimed, and the remaining area is insufficient or ineligible for house construction.
For compensation, support, and resettlement plans that were approved by competent authorities prior to the effective date of Resolution No. 36/2026/NQ-HDND, implementation will proceed according to the previously approved plans without retroactive application of the new regulations.
The new policy contributes to institutionalizing the regulations on compensation, support, and resettlement when the State reclaims land in Hanoi. Residents whose land falls under reclamation schedules should thoroughly study current regulations or contact competent authorities for guidance on their rights and the required documentation for their specific cases.
