Public Holidays in April 2025 Around the World

In April 2025, 21 of the countries and regions we track take at least one day off — 45 public holidays in total, listed in date order below. The month's headline dates include Shōwa Day and Songkran Festival (Thai New Year).

The busiest calendars this month are Indonesia (5), Philippines (5) and Hong Kong (4). Breaks that span a month boundary appear in full on both months' pages, so cross-border trips and business schedules can be planned straight off the tables. Meanwhile, Vietnam and China work 2 weekend make-up days this month — listed separately, since those are working days, not holidays.

Frequently asked questions

How many public holidays are there in April 2025 worldwide?+

We count 45 public holidays in April 2025, spread across 21 of the 23 countries and regions we track, in date order in the table above. Breaks that spill over a month boundary are shown in full on both months.

Which countries have public holidays in April 2025?+

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Taiwan and 15 more — 21 countries and regions in all. The table above gives the exact date for every holiday.

What are the first and last public holidays of April 2025?+

The month opens with Eid al-Fitr in Saudi Arabia on Mar 30, and closes with Reunification Day in Vietnam, ending Apr 30.

Does any country work make-up days in April 2025?+

Yes — 2 make-up workdays fall this month, including Vietnam (Apr 26) and China (Apr 27). Those weekends are worked, so they are listed separately from the holidays.

Can I download the April 2025 holidays as a calendar file?+

Yes. Every country's year page offers free ICS, CSV and PDF files that import straight into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and subscribing to the ICS URL keeps the dates updated if a government revises them. Month pages have no file of their own — download per country instead.

Are these days off for everyone in those countries?+

Not necessarily. The table aggregates nationwide statutory holidays. Australia, Malaysia, India and Canada add state- or province-level days on top, so the real count there is higher; annual leave and employer shutdowns are not counted either. Observances that are not days off are excluded.
