2025 Holiday Schedule: Vietnamese Workers Enjoy 22 Days Off For Festivities

In 2025, Vietnamese workers can look forward to an extended holiday schedule, with a total of 22 days off for various public holidays and Tết celebrations. The consecutive days off result from holidays coinciding with weekends and swapping working days.

On the Lunar New Year 2025, cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers in administrative agencies, public service agencies, political organizations, socio-political organizations, and enterprises will have 9 consecutive days off, including 5 days off for Tet and 4 weekend days (from January 25 to February 2, 2025).

Hung King's Festival falls on Monday (April 7, 2025), so civil servants and workers will have 3 consecutive days off because the 2 consecutive days before the holiday are weekly days off.

For the April 30 and May 1 International Labor Day holidays, workers will have 5 consecutive days off from Wednesday to Sunday (i.e. April 30 to May 4, 2025) due to the swap of working days from Friday (May 2, 2025) to Saturday (April 26, 2025).

Days off are organized to include weekend adjustments, maximizing rest time while maintaining work schedules. Moreover, the extended holiday policy has an effect on boosting demotic tourism and economy, as longer breaks encourage travel and spur related industries.
