What is fixed and what may change

The Labour Code gives 11 paid holidays: New Year, 5 days of Tet, Hung Kings' Day, 30 April, 1 May and 2 days for National Day. Since July 2026 a National Assembly resolution adds 24 November, Vietnam Culture Day, every year.

Tet and Hung Kings' Day follow the lunar calendar. The Ministry of Home Affairs (Bộ Nội vụ) has published the 2027 schedule: the civil service is off from 4 to 10 February and from 2 to 5 September.

Private employers choose one of three options for the five Tet days and choose 1 or 3 September as the second National Day. They must tell employees at least 30 days in advance. The ministry encourages them to follow the civil service schedule.

When a holiday falls on a weekly rest day, the next working day is off. In 2027 this gives 9 and 10 February (for the civil service) and 3 May.
