外国人在中国住旅馆以外的住所，比如民宿、朋友家、租住的房子，应当在入住后二十四小时内办理住宿登记。国家移民管理局已自2026年9月21日起在全国推广网上办理这项登记，不用专门跑派出所。本文说清谁需要办、旅馆和旅馆以外有什么区别、网上怎么填、要什么材料，以及不办的后果。
- 登记义务的法律依据：《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。
- 旅馆与旅馆以外的区别：住旅馆由旅馆负责登记并向公安机关报送，旅客本人不需要另行办理；住旅馆以外的其他住所（民宿、短租、朋友家、租住房、自有住房等），要由本人或者留宿人在二十四小时内办理登记。
- 网上办理渠道：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。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具有同等效力。
- 办理时限：旅馆以外的其他住所，应当在入住后二十四小时内办理登记。
- 需要什么材料：登记以本人有效护照或者其他国际旅行证件为身份依据，网上办理时需填写护照信息与住宿地址；由留宿人代为办理的，还需提供留宿人及住所的相关信息。网上未成功办理的，应前往派出所现场办理。具体要求以当地公安机关公布为准。
- 不登记的后果：《出境入境管理法》第七十六条规定，外国人在旅馆以外的其他住所居住或者住宿，但未按第三十九条第二款规定向公安机关申报住宿登记的，给予警告，可以并处二千元以下罚款。
谁可以自己在网上办：外国人住在自有住所，或者曾通过国家移民管理局政务服务平台办理过住宿登记的，可以自行办理；外国人租住或者借住（寄住）他人住所，由留宿人代为办理。招收外国留学生的院校、留宿外国人的单位，也可以作为留宿人代为申报。
住民宿、短租、朋友家怎么办：按“旅馆以外的其他住所”处理，同样要在二十四小时内登记。请房东或者留宿人配合，通过上述网上渠道或者到居住地派出所办理。已经纳入旅馆业治安管理的住宿场所，则由经营方负责登记。
两点提醒：住宿登记是入境后的法定义务，和签证类型无关；换住址后应重新登记。各地派出所对材料的要求可能略有差异，出发前可以先向留宿地所属派出所确认。
以上为一般性说明，具体要求与最新规定以官方发布为准。

Accommodation Registration in China: Online Filing and Homestays
Foreigners staying anywhere other than a hotel in China, such as a homestay, a friend's home or a rented apartment, must complete accommodation registration within 24 hours of moving in. Since 21 September 2026 the National Immigration Administration has rolled out online filing nationwide, so a trip to the local police station is no longer the only option. This guide explains who must register, how hotels differ from other accommodation, how to file online, what you need, and what happens if you don't.
- Legal basis: Article 39 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China provides that where a foreigner stays at a hotel, the hotel shall handle the accommodation registration in accordance with the rules on public security administration of the hotel industry and report the information to the local public security authority; where a foreigner lives or stays at any other place, the foreigner or the host shall, within 24 hours of moving in, register with the public security authority of the place of residence.
- Hotels versus everything else: at a hotel, the hotel registers you and reports the information, so you do not need to do anything yourself. At any other place, such as a homestay, short-term rental, a friend's home, a rented flat or your own property, you or your host must register within 24 hours.
- Online channels: you can register online through the National Immigration Administration government service website, the “NIA 12367” app, or the “NIA 12367” WeChat and Alipay mini programs. The offline channel of registering in person at the public security authority where you live remains available, and online registration has the same legal effect as registering in person.
- Deadline: for accommodation other than a hotel, registration must be completed within 24 hours of moving in.
- What you need: registration uses your valid passport or other international travel document as proof of identity. When filing online you provide your passport details and your residential address; if a host files on your behalf, information about the host and the premises is also required. If online filing does not go through, register in person at the local police station. Specific requirements are subject to what the local public security authority publishes.
- Consequences of not registering: Article 76 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law provides that a foreigner who lives or stays at a place other than a hotel without registering under Article 39(2) shall be given a warning and may be fined up to 2,000 yuan.
Who can file online themselves: foreigners staying at their own property, or who have previously registered through the National Immigration Administration government service platform, can file on their own. If you rent or borrow someone else's home, the host files on your behalf. Schools enrolling international students and organisations hosting foreigners may also register as the host.
Homestays, short-term rentals and staying with friends: these are treated as “accommodation other than a hotel” and still require registration within 24 hours. Ask the landlord or your host to help you file through the online channels above or at the local police station. Where a property is already managed under hotel-industry public security rules, the operator handles the registration.
Two reminders: accommodation registration is a legal duty after entry and is unrelated to your visa type, and you should register again if you change address. Requirements for supporting documents can vary slightly between police stations, so it is worth confirming with the police station covering your accommodation before you arrive.
The above is general guidance only. For specific requirements and the latest rules, please refer to official announcements.
