Vietnam Public Holidays 2025 list is here!

Vietnam is set to introduce an extended public holiday period in 2025, providing workers with more time to spend with their families and explore the country. This move aims to promote tourism, boost consumer spending, and improve work-life balance.

This holiday plan has been approved by 13 of the 16 ministries and agencies, according to MOLISA. If passed by the Prime Minister, the holiday would start on New Year 2025 and last for nine days, comprising five days with official Tet holidays, plus four regular days off, according to the information available up to today.
