Cases where red book ownership cannot be transferred

Based on the above conditions for transferring the red book, land in the following cases will not be allowed to be transferred:

- Land in dispute without final court decision;

- Land is being seized to ensure execution of judgment;

- Land has expired.

In addition, if the land user (seller or donor) meets the conditions prescribed in Article 188 of the 2013 Land Law, but the buyer or recipient is not allowed to buy or receive land use rights as a gift, the red book cannot be transferred. In other words, these are cases where the transfer of ownership is prohibited.

According to Article 191 of the 2013 Land Law, there are 4 cases in which land use rights cannot be received, transferred, or donated.

1. Organizations, households, individuals, residential communities, religious establishments, Vietnamese people residing abroad, and foreign-invested enterprises are not allowed to receive transfers or donations of land use rights in cases where the law does not permit the transfer or donation of land use rights.
