How Vietnam's holiday system works
Vietnam's Labor Code sets 11 statutory public holidays each year across five key periods: New Year's Day, Tet (Lunar New Year), Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, Reunification Day and International Labour Day, and National Day. Tet dates shift every year because they follow the lunar calendar — the government announces the exact Gregorian dates annually.
To create longer breaks, the government can declare make-up workdays on weekends — as with Saturday Apr 26, 2025 for the Reunification/Labour Day cluster. Public-sector employees follow the national schedule; private employers may arrange holidays within the legal minimum, so always confirm with your employer.
