The next public holiday in Vietnam is New Year's Day

When the next public holiday in Vietnam falls

Vietnam recognises eleven days of public holiday under article 112 of the Labour Code (Law 45/2019/QH14). The list is short by regional standards: New Year's Day, the Lunar New Year (Tết Nguyên Đán) cluster of five days centred on the first day of the first lunar month, Hung Kings Commemoration Day on the 10th day of the third lunar month honouring the legendary founders, Reunification Day on 30 April marking the 1975 fall of Saigon, Labour Day, National Day on 2 September commemorating the 1945 declaration of independence and an additional day adjacent to 2 September (added by 2021 amendment). Tết is by far the most economically significant holiday with nationwide migration to family villages.

Knowing the exact date of the next holiday in Vietnam matters for more than time off. It tells payroll teams when a pay run shifts, tells anyone with a filing or payment deadline whether a due date rolls forward, and tells cross-border teams which day a counterpart will be unreachable. The countdown above is calculated from the nationally recognised public holiday list and updates live in your own time zone, so a date that is "tomorrow" for someone in Vietnam reads correctly for you wherever you are.

Working days and the holiday calendar in Vietnam

Labour Code 2019 article 105 sets the standard working week at 48 hours over six days, with the State encouraging a 40-hour, five-day week. The standard office and banking week is Monday to Friday with Saturday and Sunday off; manufacturing and retail commonly run Monday to Saturday. Sunday is the statutory weekly rest day under article 111. The Civil Procedure Code article 152 rolls procedural deadlines falling on a non-working day to the next working day. Settlement of dong transactions runs on the State Bank of Vietnam's IBPS (Interbank Payment System), which observes the gazetted holiday list plus PM-extended Tết days.

Right now there are about 43 full working days between today and New Year's Day, counting Monday to Friday and skipping any other public holidays in between. If you are scheduling a deliverable, a delivery, or a meeting that depends on people being at their desks in Vietnam, that is the realistic window you have before the next closure.

For cross-border planning, overlay the Vietnam calendar with the calendars of the other countries your team works with. A week that looks completely open from your side can be a national holiday on theirs, and the clash only shows up when you compare the two side by side. The full holiday page links into a country-by-country comparison so you can spot the weeks where almost nobody is at their desk before you commit to a date.

Holiday dates are compiled from Nager.Date and the national sources listed above. Regional and substitute-day rules vary; for legal deadlines, confirm the observed date with the relevant official calendar for Vietnam.
